As an adult smoker I am a member of the Marlboro website, mainly for the coupons Right, gotta save when you can. Anyway... I entered to win a trip to the Crazy Mountain Ranch, owned by Phillip - Morris and commonly called the Marlboro Ranch. It is an 18,000 acre cattle & horse ranch located an hour from Bozeman Mt. They had 5 trips and chose 47 people per trip w/guest
and around 5 million entries. I was very happy to have been chosen as you can not buy your way into this place. It is private and guarded. The trip was totally free all I had to do was get to and from the Cincinnati airport. They sent us nice luggage and pre-paid cards to use for the checked bag fee. Also sent a check for 600.00 to pay the tax'es with. They had a reception set up at the Bozeman airport and checked us in and fed us. Then got on a tour bus for the trip to the ranch. We was meet by the staff, shown to our room and they carried our bags. They have an western town with everything you can picture being in a old town. They fed us well and the drinks were free when the bar opened at 5 pm. A different live band each night. We got to drive a Hummer through the foothills, drive a side by side ATV, shoot sporting clays, did some archery and my favorite was they had 9 zip lines, each one was longer and higher then the last. They had other things to do if you had time like, horses you could ride, fly fishing, mountain bikes, pool tables, foosball, dart boards, horse shoes, poker and blackjack tables even learn line dancing if you wanted. After dinner food was available if you was still hungry just order at the bar. They gave us each a Stetson hat and a nice set of cowboy boots and a jacket. They set up a 150.00 tab at the general store for both of us (300$) We mostly bought t-shirts to give to our friends but we did get some nice items for our self. It was 4 days and 3 nights of non stop food and fun. They ranch was well maintained and did I mention the food? I think I gained a few pounds but it was great.
