The Ranch is
a Co-op Park of the Escapees RV Club located on the northern edge of the
Chihuahuan Desert in southeastern New Mexico near
Lakewood, between Artesia and Carlsbad. In its
history of development, The Ranch began in 1982 with the
initial lot drawing taking place in May 1983. Since then, 120 lots have
been developed along with facilities such as a large
Ranch House activities center, dry camping and storage areas, an office,
laundry, and workshop.
The development of
The Ranch was described in a chapter contained in the book
History of the Escapees Club in Prose and Pictures
by Kay Peterson and Todd Paddock. This book chapter is reprinted herein
with Kay Peterson's kind permission.
The Ranch is
a SKP (Escapees RV Club)
Co-op Resort and welcomes SKPs to become members by leasing a lot.
The Ranch has the reputation
among Escapees (SKP's) as the most friendly park in their system. Many of
the lot owners, or more precisely the leaseholders, place their lots in the
"rental pool" so that other Escapees or guests of members can enjoy staying at
The Ranch. Take a look at our Website to see what we have to offer,
then come for a stay.
Ranch Ramblings,
a Yahoo News Group was started for the exchange of information and ideas between
leaseholders at The Ranch. While we encourage open and frank discussion,
this is not meant to be forum for expressing personal gripes or merely venting.
We hope that you will use this group to keep friends from The Ranch informed of
your wanderings and activities, clarify Board decisions, and civilly discuss
issues of general importance to the group.
To subscribe to
Ranch Ramblings, all leaseholders need to do is send a blank email to the
following URL:
ranch_ramblings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
or complete your email address below and click on the Yahoo!.Groups button.
