Happy Trails to You...

As with everything in life, there is a season. A time to reap; a time to sow. A time to hold on; a time to let go. Our presence on social media has come to pass and it is time to say goodbye.
We launched our fake businesses almost four months ago. Over this time "Double J" has created a Blog, Twitter and Pinterest Accounts and a Facebook Page. We've had a contest and giveaway as well as several parties and even a rodeo. Using HootSuite we've scheduled daily tweets and posts. The highlight was our podcast, "Campfire Chronicles" and developing our app, "Dude, Where's My Ranch?"

It has been a ton of fun promoting a childhood dream! We were up to 85 likes on Facebook and even had a few followers on Twitter! It has been an awesome adventure and learning experience. The knowledge I have gained will be helpful as I pursue a career in marketing. A big thank you to all of you who took part in this in one form or another. Adios!

Interact and all that app…

Double J is now part of Second Life! Virtually visit us and see for yourself our amazing accommodations! Pick out the one that’s just right for you! You can also fill your “barn” with our steed lineup and even go for a ride! We choose Second Life because it has over one million regular users and we felt it would be a huge benefit to our future guests to get a feel for the ranch. So, what are you waiting for?! Round ‘em up and move ‘em out!
 
WE NOW HAVE AN APP!  Dude, Where’s My Ranch is available for download on your iPhone or Android for absolutely FREE! The Double J on-property concierge and local guide will enhance your experience at the ranch.  You will find interactive maps of all of our trails so you will never get lost and check the local weather so you know how to dress (or possibly opt to cuddle by the fire). You will receive a daily welcome with all the day’s activities as well as upcoming events.  Don’t miss out and get your app today!
