Big Stik Ranch


This is the infamous Big Stik Ranch. My parents bought this fabulous place about 13 year ago and we have a loved spending time there ever since. They have done many improvements in the past 13 years as you will see...

On the way up my neice Sydney insisted on getting all the gates.


My parents have random things all over the place such as this sign. They are hilarious!


They are putting in a new road and making great progress!


This is the Saloon. It has several tables, slot machine, and yes it does have a bar. The kids have a blast playing store in the Saloon. It is also the coolest place to be when it is super hot outside.


This is the Honeymoon Hut which is my favorite place to stay when we are there because it is away from everybody and the water flowing in the stream puts me to sleep.


Some of the fun we have is spent on the four wheelers, playing horse shoes, roasting marshmellows, and simply just relaxing. Here is my nephew Zach, cousins Clint and Travis, and Travis's girfriend Janing playing a friendly game of horseshoes.




Here we are hanging out in front of the the bunkhouse AKA The Chalet.







Roasting mellows!!!!



The kids find a creative hill billy way to cool off. Notice the outhouse in the background. Yes girls it flushes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
