Meet at the entry patio to the office to learn about the dude ranch and all the photography opportunities. Members may wander around until 12:30 pm taking pictures. Horses and stables, the historic ranch house, birding area, western landscape, a petting zoo, and more is available to photograph.
Lunch will be served from 12:30 -1:30. Lunch includes grilled meat choices and accompanying sides, drink, and desert. Please let the trip leader know if you have any dietary restrictions no later than February 19th. We will be eating with other guests at the ranch.
At 1:30 you can explore the ranch on your own or check with the office for things to do. The gift shop is open until 2:30 pm.
Weather permitting, there will be a rodeo show beginning at 4:00 for the guests of the ranch. It ends about 5:30. You are free to return home if you are not staying for the rodeo show.

NOTICE:
Be sure to have your GVR card with you for each and every field trip. Without it, you won't be allowed to go on the trip. No refunds will be granted for failure to comply with this requirement. To protect GVR and club member benefits, GVR has implemented a new process that requires each field trip participant to come into the club and scan his/her GVR card to confirm eligibility. We no longer have the option of typing in your name or GVR number – only the physical GVR card will do.
We will no longer meet in the parking lot. We will meet in the GVR Photography Club where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip. We’ll also review important/late-breaking information, pair up drivers and riders, provide driving directions, and give participants a chance to visit the restrooms prior to departure. Again, be sure to have your GVR card with you.
All participants need to be responsible for an assessment of their mobility and health issues relating to field trips. Some trips may not be appropriate, but you must make that determination. However, the trip leader may deny participation in a specific field trip to anyone deemed not suitably prepared or able to walk with the group.
The club strives to provide several field trips specifically designed for members with physical limitations.
To participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.
The GVR Photography Club is located in the Recreation Village of Santa Rita Springs.
