A Message From the Welcoming Committee to All New Owners/Residents
Welcome to Wilderness Ranch!
We’re pleased you’ve decided to become a member of our unique mountain community.
Living in the mountains brings many things to enjoy, such as tranquil walks along Common Area trails, the beauty of forested terrain, and abundant wildlife right in your own yard.
Living in the mountains also brings challenges, such as keeping your property safe from fire. You’ll want to check out all the great fire prevention and safety information here. Another challenge is learning to drive on our roads. Here are a few basic tips that will hopefully make your experience in our road conditions much easier on you and all residents:
- The speed limit on all Ranch roads is 15 mph. In some places, it's wise to drive more slowly.
- The roads are muddy in the spring, dusty in the summer, and slippery in the winter. Be mindful of changing road conditions and drive accordingly.
- The roads are often occupied by people and animals who aren't in vehicles. Keep your eyes open and your speed down.
- 4-wheel drive is highly advised.
- Winter tires and tire chains are absolutely necessary when the roads are snowy/icy.
- When traction fails, there is no good place to pull over and chain up, and this often results in bent vehicles and traffic jams in the most precarious and dangerous sections of a roadway. If someone needs help, lend them a hand if it is safe to do so.
Web Site: Be sure to explore all areas of this Web site. You should find answers to most of your questions and maybe learn a thing or two about Ranch living. If you can't find what you're looking for, contact the site administrator through the WR Contacts link on the left-hand side of this page.
Membership Directory: We recommend that you take a moment to register for the online membership directory so you have access to the “member-only” areas of this Web site, along with receiving InstantWatch e-mail messages. These messages notify owners/residents about road conditions, known water system problems, and other issues that need immediate attention. You will not receive these e-mails unless you have registered for the online directory.
Volunteering: It is important for you to know that almost all of the work around the Ranch is performed by volunteers on various committees, including the Roads Committee, the Water Committee, the Common Area Committee, the Architectural Control Committee, the Facilities Committee, the Welcoming Committee, and the Communications Committee. As new owners, we encourage you to think about becoming a volunteer. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors, as well as improving and enhancing the services and surroundings that make this such a beautiful place to live.
We hope you’ll enjoy calling Wilderness Ranch your home as much as we do. Welcome!
If you have any questions, contact a member of the Welcoming Committee using the WR Contacts link on the left-hand side of this page.
