I've never been to a dude ranch, so the first thing I had to do was find a website of one so I could see what's available.

And he has no fitness center because you won't need it. We guarantee a good night's sleep with each and every visit to Mushaben Ranch Camp.

Hope to see you soon. Mushaben Ranch Camp: Where you don't get no warning shot.
