For most of us, our childhood memories included dreams of being a cowboy out on the plains and the adventure of a cattle drive. We watched those westerns with cowboys wrangling cows, camping out under a blanket of stars and practiced our best John Wayne-esque pistol slinging impersonations. There just happens to be an ultimate adventure for grown up kids where those childhood fantasies can come true on a luxurious rustic dude ranch surrounded by the pristine natural beautify of Wyoming.
