“Lions & Tigers and Bears – Oh My!” A yearly retreat from city kids to country kids, as described by the Gallipolis Tribune newspaper. This yearly retreat provided an opportunity for our children to see what it is like to go on a hayride, to experience fresh farm air, and enjoy fresh veggies from the garden. This was a thrill for both our youth and their parents/guardians. Buckeye Hills Ranch is an ongoing project, which hopefully will be in continual operation in the “not too distant” future.
