点评:I just spent a week at Rowse’s 1+1 Ranch in Nebraska. First off, this guest ranch is NOT a dude ranch! It is a working cattle ranch. If you’re looking for something real and riding for a purpose, this is it! The horses are well trained and do what they’re asked to do, assuming you know how to ask them. This is not nose to tail riding. You’ll be driving cattle, helping in the doctoring process, checking water tanks, looking for stray cattle or calves, and numerous other tasks important to ranch work. Jerry (the owner) as well as Gage, (wrangler extraordinaire) are the real pros, but you will be working right along side them and doing pretty much the same type of work. Jerry is a no nonsense leader who says what needs to be said in order to get the job done and keep you safe. He might sound rough, but he’s a great guy, and the real thing! And Gage is very generous with his time and was always willing to lend a hand and help you manage the job at hand. You will learn a lot from these two cowboys! And I would be remiss if I didn’t give a salute to Jodie and her wonderful disposition. She made saddling up in the morning less stressful and actually a pleasant experience instead of a chore! The scenery at the ranch is composed of beautiful green rolling hills, spotted with trees, sandy patches and of course plenty of cattle. The accommodations were exactly what I hoped for. The rooms were rustic and extremely comfortable. They were well decorated in true western fashion, and were also spotless! As for the food… don’t get me started! Every meal was incredible! If you like great home cooking, you’ll love everything Tammy (Jerry’s wife) prepares. Steak, Beef Brisket, Meat Loaf, Lasagna, Chicken Fried Steak, Fresh Salads and Vegetables, a host of Deserts and even Home Made Ice Cream, to name a few! I’d stay there just for the food! But, in fact, everything and everyone was delightful, and God willing, I will be back next year!

Gage 非常慷慨,总是愿意伸出援手,帮你处理手头的工作。你会从这两位牛仔身上学到很多东西!如果我不向 Jodie 和她美好的性格致敬,那真是太失职了。她让早上备鞍变得轻松,实际上是一种愉快的体验,而不是一件苦差事!牧场的景色由美丽的绿色连绵起伏的丘陵组成,点缀着树木、沙地,当然还有大量的牛群。住宿条件完全符合我的期望。房间质朴而舒适。它们以真正的西部风格精心装饰,而且一尘不染!至于食物……真是让我赞不绝口!每一顿饭都令人惊艳!如果你喜欢美味的家常菜,你一定会爱上 Tammy(Jerry 的妻子)做的所有菜。牛排、牛腩、肉饼、千层面、炸鸡排、新鲜沙拉和蔬菜、各种甜点,甚至还有自制冰淇淋,等等!就算是为了美食,我也愿意待在那里!但事实上,那里的一切,每个人,都令人愉悦。如果上帝保佑,我明年还会再来的!
