Bill and Julie were looking to escape the cold South Dakota winter and decided to make the trip south to Star Ranch and spend a few months as a part of our "Winter Texan" program. While here, Bill offered his services as a Work Camper, helping out with maintenance here at the ranch. He obviously loves what he does, and did such an amazing job that we can wait to welcome them back next winter!
