Letter received from Celine and Steve Benedict, May 31, 2011;

Hi Folks!
It was so hard leaving Jackson. On behalf of Steve, Matthew, Sean and Bryce, we would like to thank you for your "Western" hospitality! It certainly is an amazing experience especially for my boys. We cannot get over the breathtaking scenes, the majestic mountains covered in snow, so picturesque that you think they came out from a cover of a magazine, the sound of the roaring river, watch the animals as they so freely graze in the wild. The beauty of this country coming to life right before our very own eyes! And above all, with both your expertise, people and culinary skills (honestly, those are the best tasting hamburgers I ever tasted in my life!!), your sense of humor, etc (do I need to keep going?)... The Benedicts' will be talking about this adventure for years to come. It was entertainment at its best!
The simple pleasures are truly the best! Take care! Celine

And from her husband; Dear folks :
There are so many words to describe God's beautiful adventure presented by you guys. And, the Cowboy poems that took us back in time to feel like we were reliving the peaceful, but naturally intriguing days in the wilderness of the past. The mountains, rivers, trees, sky, and all the animals thrilled us with a curious mystique of images that will never be forgotten. Living in, and loving the mountains for all my life, can only make me appreciate this wilderness more because of you. Celine, Matthew, Sean, Bryce, and me are forever grateful for your generous hospitality. You are great human brings and we can't wait to see more of you and have more adventures. Let's protect our world together. Many Blessings, Steve Benedict

This is a letter we received on June 3, 2009 from some of our guests.

Hey to you great guys at Wydaho Outfitters,
We are back in Nebraska (and have to say it's looking a little bland) after our great and memorable vacation to your beautiful state. Every time we are on our way home from a vacation, Ron asks all of the kids what their favorite part of vacation was. The unanimous answer was, "The horseback riding." We were all so impressed with your hospitality and service, and the breathtaking beauty of the trail ride. It was like nothing else we have ever done on a vacation. Joe was happy as a clam that you didn't mind him breaking into a canter once in a while, because most trail rides prohibit that and it's something he loves to do and has done with our own horse. And no matter what Josh says, we all were very entertained by the occasional stop for some cowboy poetry. In fact, I wish we could get ahold of the ones you recited on the trail. I even bought Matt a book of cowboy poetry in Jackson when Holly and I went shopping the day the guys went out on the ATVs. We also were entertained by your off-trail adventures with Snickers, but that's another story. Anyway, we just wanted to contact you and let you know that even though we did many really fun things on our trip, your trail ride was the big highlight of our time out there, something we will all remember forever and hope to do again sometime. If you are ever again in the Fremont area and want to break up your trip, e-mail us ahead of time or call us at 402-727-1221 and you are more than welcome to stop in for a meal or stay the night before you go on your way. Ron will give you a tour of the Children's Home and farm area. Thanks again to you and Josh for a great time! God bless-- Ron, Teresa, Matt, Holly and Joe Giesselmann
