Who are our guides?
Jerry Farlee and his sons Jerry K., Leon, Jason and Luke.  They are members of the Cheyenne River Tribe.  Together they operate the 36,000 acre spread of land known as the Cheyenne River Ranch near Eagle Butte, South Dakota, on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation.  Your guides are dedicated to giving you the excursion you've always dreamed of, while providing for your safety and comfort.  

Can you please describe the lodging?
We provide a bunkhouse that will sleep up to six people, but we can make accommodations for larger groups.  We also have a camper that sleeps five.  The camper can be placed farther out on the ranch for those who wish to base their visit remotely and cook for themselves.  We will also set up a tipi camp with porta-potty for those groups who wish to be closer to nature.

What about meals?
Jerry Farlee's wife Rita and daughter Lizette are proud to provide you with ample home cooked meals.  A typical breakfast would be eggs, pancakes, ham or sausage, toast, coffee and juice.  Lunch is usually sandwiches, fruit, a snack and beverage.  Dinners are steaks, roasts, vegetables, potatoes, desserts and beverages.  You will not leave our table hungry!  Meals can be tailored to suit your palate or personal needs, so if you have special requirements please let us know when you book your stay.
(Our Indian Tacos are famous!)
