A few house notes to keep the Ranch safe and beautiful for everyone: • Speed limit: 5 MPH throughout the Ranch. • Campfires: only in designated fire rings, and never left unattended. • Pets: must be leashed outdoors at all times. • Energy & water: please use A/C, heat, and water responsibly — when you're away for the day, set the thermostat higher for A/C or lower for heat to conserve energy. Thank you for helping us keep Observer Ranch peaceful and welcoming for all!
