The Fogey Helo Pad Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was
held on July 19, 2010 with the Air Evac Helicopter
landing on the pad at approximately 7:45 PM which
was described as a “perfect landing”. Some others
described the event as being so excited it gave them
“cold chills” and “goose bumps“.

Chuck Ruckdeschell, Chairman of the Ranch Riders
Club cut the yellow ribbon marking the Grand
Opening of the Helicopter Landing Pad.
A big thank you to Ron Roberts, a Cloud 9 member
and sales manager of Air Evac for getting
everything arranged so the helicopter could do this
practice landing. Thank you to Eric Brotherton,
pilot, (Cloud 9 member) and also thank you to
Steven Huffine, Paramedic and Faledra Hudspeten,
Nurse. A good turnout of Cloud 9 members also
attended.

Frank Shore Crossing
The Frank Shore Crossing
at Wilder was completed
with the last of the concrete
poured on August 4th.
Frank was issued a “Nation
Wide Permit” through the
Corp of Engineers to
construct this low water
bridge.
There were as many as 50
volunteers who worked 30
yards of concrete in three
days. They started with the
entrance to the patio room
that faces the ranger’s
office with a poured area to
stop the pea gravel from
being tracked in on the new
floor. From there they went
and repaired an area
behind the pavilion where
the ice machine drained
onto the concrete walk
way, then they went to
the mini stage stop at
Wilder and poured the
handicapped walk way
for the stage stop.
Leftover concrete was used
to fill in and smooth up the
fishing ramp.  The last stop
was the low water crossing
where as many as 50
volunteers helped in various
ways on the crossing with
100+ degree temperature.
Tom Riley delivered the
skid steer (that he
donated to the Ranch
Rider Club) on Thursday
evening and it was used
almost daily on the low
water crossing and
around the ranch.  When
all of the concrete work
was completed, the
members on the project
enjoyed working in Ozark
Art onto the crossing side
walls.
 
Funding was by the
Ranch Wide Large
Project Fund. Individual
members made
donations to the project
along with several
committees.
 
It is now ready for light
vehicle traffic to cross
and go up to Lonnie’s
Lookout.  There is a
place for heavy
equipment to go around
the low water bridge.
Photos of the projects
can be viewed on the
RRC website
