Christmas time at the Ranch


It's Christmas time and students went out in to the forest to select and bring back a nice Christmas tree. They chose a 16 foot (just over 5 metres!) tree which just fitted in the ranch house.

The next problem will be finding a way to decorate it!

The ESL Wilderness Ranch is open year round for language studies.

Lunar eclipse at the ranch




On Saturday, December 10th there was a lunar eclipse. Because we are up in the mountains, the air is clear and there is no ambient light to spoil the night time view. It is also very possible to hear the wolves howl at night.
