Montezuma Canyon Ranch

MCR was a great first WWOOFing experience! It will be hard for any other farm to come close to how bitchen MCR is. Weekday life on the ranch involved 6-7 hours of work broken up by an hour lunch. Work involved: planting grape vines, weeding fields for days (by hand), cutting down trees, fixing irrigation systems, shoveling dirt, cleaning house and framing 3 walls of a cabin. After a hard days work we typically had a beer or two, shot the shit, showered up and had a late family style dinner of massive proportions.


During our two week stay we enjoyed working for and in the company of Danny, the Rancher. We were also lucky to live and work with WWOOFers Wonseok from S. Korea and Alex & Ronan from France. For colorful commentary and ass kickin' there was Josey and full time ranch resident Chuck.

Weekend highlights include the trip to the Super Walmart with our international crew, beer pong tournament followed by a drunken trip to a waterfall, fishing, hiking and searching for arrowheads only to find tons of ancient pottery pieces and throwing them back. Danny's folks showed up for the last few days we were there so we moved from the ranch house to the trailer. The folks were great company, good cooks and makers of real margaritas so we aren't too sore about it. We had a great time at the MCR, the good times could fill pages...good times with good people, what more could we ask for?



We were so busy having a good time, we sort of fell behind on this....so we'll spend this and the next post trying to get caught up.
