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!

I mustache you a question, but I will shave it for later…

No-Shave November is a unique way to raise cancer awareness.  What better way to grow awareness than with some hair?  Show your support and give back.
In 2013, No Shave November partnered with the American Cancer Society to ensure that the funds raised in the annual campaign would be distributed to all of the areas that matter to the team: research, prevention, education, and continuing care. With every whisker grown and dollar raised, No Shave November celebrates the hair that many cancer patients lose and gets one step closer to eradicating the disease. For those of you who are unfamiliar with No Shave November I have provided a link: http://www.no-shave.org/
Cancer took my father’s life 12 years ago. Not a day goes by that I do not miss him. Leukemia was his demise and even though it is not hereditary, his twin sister (because one could not be so good looking) died of it less than two years later. He was the “King of One-Liners” and being a salesman, knew more jokes than I could ever remember. When he was in school he said there was a smart section and a dumb section… he was the smartest one in the dumb section!
