received. The following is the theme for
each campground and the number of
roads left to name:
Hill Country – Mountain Ranges

The Fogey Helo Pad Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony was held on July 19, 2010
with the Air Evac Helicopter landing
on the pad at approximately 7:45
PM which was described as a
“perfect landing”. Some others
described the event as being so
excited it gave them “cold chills”
and “goose bumps“.
Don Scott, President of the Board of
Directors and Chuck Ruckdeschell,
Chairman of the Ranch Riders Club
cut the yellow ribbon marking the
Grand Opening of the Helicopter
Landing Pad.
A big thank you to Ron Roberts, a
Cloud 9 member and sales manager
of Air Evac for getting everything
arranged so the helicopter could do
this practice landing. Thank you to
Eric Brotherton, pilot, (Cloud 9
member) and also thank you to
Steven Huffine, Paramedic and
Felidra Hudspeth, Nurse. A good
turnout of Cloud 9 members also
attended.
Many pictures were taken and some
will be posted later on the
ranchriders.org web site. Thanks to
all who made this project complete.

We have a shipment of shirts for the

Labor Day Holiday. There will be a
raffle of the lawn furniture
consisting of a folding table and two
chairs and also the ATV Luggage
Box. The 50/50 raffle will be drawn
when we reach the goal of $1,200
which may be over the Labor Day
Holiday.

We appreciate all of your support

and look forward to seeing everyone

of the new stream crossing signs
