For the past several years Cloud 9 Ranch has offered a

chance for you to experience an overnight trail ride. This

invites the hearty adventurer to experience the Ozark

Mountains from the back of a horse. Overnight package

includes a 4-5 hour trail ride which departs on Saturday,

September 24th, a Cowboy cookout on Saturday evening,

overnight campout at the Ranch stables, Cowboy breakfast on

the morning of Sunday September 25th, followed by 4 hour

trail ride on Sunday morning. You will be guided by truly

experienced cowboys and range cooks.

The adventure begins at 11:30am at the C9R stables.

Cowboys and Cowgirls will be introduced to their faithful mount

and the ride will begin through some of the most spectacular

parts of the Ozarks. At around 5pm the group will return to the

Ranch Stables where you will be able to pitch your tent. All

weather tents will make your stay enjoyable no matter what

Mother Nature decides to bring. The range cooks will prepare

a Cowboy Cookout for the trail ride participants. The evening

will include campfire stories, and perhaps a cowboy song or

two. You are welcome to bring your singing voice and a guitar

if you like.

On Sunday morning you will start your day off with coffee (of

course) and a Cowboy Breakfast that is to die for. After that it

is back into the saddle for another four hour morning ride.

This could be the best experience of your life…..and certainly

one you will never forget!

Hidden Treasure Stashed at C9R Did you ever play hide and seek or

participate in a scavenger hunt? If you

enjoyed either of these activities you should

try GeoStashing!

All you have to have is a GPS that will let you

input coordinates and you can play. Imagine

the fun of riding the trails of Cloud 9 Ranch

while looking for hidden treasures. Well

maybe not actual treasures but they are

hidden. Please

visit www.kroutonline.com and check out the

links. Check out the link to the coordinates

and click on a camera icon to see pictures

from cameras left in GeoStashs. There have

been many new pictures posted since June.

If you find a GeoStash please sign the log

book so we will know you have visited. If you

see a “Treasure” in the GeoStash that you

are welcome to take it. All we ask is you

leave something in its place so the next

person has something to find. Most of the

GeoStashs don’t have cameras in them right

now. If you enjoy looking at the pictures feel

free to put a disposable camera in a

GeoStash. When it is full someone will get it

developed and post the pictures for everyone

to see.

Don’t miss out on the fun, dust off that GPS

and find some GeoStashs!

Back in the Day Photo Contest

A recent discovery was made while cleaning out

one of the storage facilities on Cloud 9 Ranch.

What was the discovery? A piece of Cloud 9

History! A brochure of Cloud 9 Ranch from the

early days that reflects the simple pleasures of

Cloud 9 Ranch. The title of the brochure is

“How to become a Camper and Love Every

Minute of it!” A date was not printed in the

brochure however, the signs of the times are

present. Under the listing “What‟s Around Us”,

Dog Patch USA is listed as a popular tourist

attraction. Well, Dog Patch USA closed 18 years

ago. Which would make the discovery at least

that many years old. If you would like to see the

old brochure, you may do so on line. The old

brochure is posted on Cloud Nine

RanchOutfitters on Facebook. Take a few

minutes to discover for yourself some of Cloud

9 Ranch‟s history.

Now you may be asking yourself “What does

this information have to do with a photo

contest?” Well the old brochure was inspiring

enough to want to learn more about Ranch

history. If you have old photos from Cloud 9

Ranch please submit them to “Cloud 9 Ranch

Photo Contest”.

As the 40 year anniversary approaches, these old

photos are a great way to remember and restore

the nostalgia of Cloud 9.

There is not a better way to bring a bright future

to the Ranch than by restoring the positive

moments of the past.

Submit Your Old Ranch Photos To:

Cloud 9 Ranch * Outfitters

PO Box 50

Caulfield, MO 65626

Please include your name and a

description of the photo.

The Photos will be posted on the

Ranch Facebook page.

If you would like your photo

returned to you, please include a

self address stamped envelope.

There will be a pair of Jim Stafford

tickets given away to the over all

best photo.
