A Member's view of Cloud 9 Ranch

I love my ranch. Cloud 9 ranch is my secret spot. My soul rejuvenation secret spot. When I travel to the ranch I feel the world slip away, drifting silently away as a leaf on a rippling stream of cool clear water, tumbling over rocks and colorful pebbles.
When I turn off the highway onto the drive to the gate of my ranch I begin to become a different person. My anxiety leaves me, my worries drop behind me and I relax in my heart and soul.
I know that when I enter the gate I am in the best place I could ever think of being. I am happier now. Already relaxed and joyful in spirit.

While driving through the campgrounds I see friends already relaxing by the spring with their fishing poles at the ready, trying to entice those wonderful trout into catching themselves so they may become supper.
I see children everywhere playing games, wading in the stream, catching frogs, watching birds. The children are laughing and giggling as they run here and there looking for their next great adventure. The children are making new friends and learning to games as they wonder at the beauty of their new playground.
I can hear the birds in the trees that are swaying to and fro in a gentle breeze that rustles the leaves as it passes through every branch and limb.
Finally I see a campsite I want. Placing my lawnchair on the pad I go to register the site as mine. My new home away from home.

I love my ranch. Soon I will be fishing, riding my atv, hiking a trail. Maybe I will go to the stables for a ride through the forest and over the hills on a horse picked out just for me. This evening, around a fire ring I will make new friends as we all share a night of talk, companionship and reflections.

My soul is renourished, my heart renewed. I will always dream of C9R when I am away as if it were my heaven on earth, here and now. I feel blessed to have it in my life. My ranch is so wonderful for me and to me.
Mini golf, tennis courts, basketball, swimming pools, dances, teen center, preteen center, horseback riding, over 300 miles of ATV trails, hiking, trout fishing, hunting, nature and soul rejuvenation. What a wonderful place is my ranch. I love Cloud 9 Ranch. I own this place. My deed is my ticket for the best ride I know of. C9R.

Very Respectfully,
Joe
