I take a look at the Sean Hannity collection, and a plaque from America's Most Wanted which I can only assume is because they filmed something here. Melancholy has crept into my brittle bones, binding tightly like deep roots I know all too well. "We're here on a trip, I called you last night about a card." I have found myself in a place I never thought I would this year, as well as in a place I didn't think I would stand. The flow of time made it otherwise. "Oh!" The man behind the desk exclaimed. "You must be Joe." My dad placed his hand on my shoulder. "Yep! And this is my son." I snap to and release my gaze from the random picture of Sean. "Hey. Nice to meets you." I put my hand forward to give out one of those famous cold hard American handshakes. My dad and the man continue to talk. My mind began to drift off, staring aimlessly at the jackalope in front of me. I wonder what life for it must have been like, scary probably. After my dad and the man settles up we hop into his truck and head out to the lease, we have a bit of grief getting and celebration to do today. ---------- [12ish Hours Earlier] After a confusing hour or so, my dad and I unload his truck for a rousing Father and Son Hunting Trip. You may think this would be an event I'd hate, on former occasions you'd probably be right. Not so much this time. "I bring ALL the guns in right? It would be a dumb thing to leave them in the truck, right?" The look on my fathers face tells me my joke didn't land the way I thought it would. We get ready for bed because we got a big morning ahead of us. While my dad was on a witch-hunt for the card I was able to sneak a few hits in before the evening ended. "Do you have anything you want to watch?" My dad shrugs and kind of waves me off. I land on an episode of The Simpson's. Some minutes fly by. "Hey, Dad..." "Yes, Son." "Do you believe in aliens?"[1] Some more times passes. We see the family have a struggle on the tv. "I have so much more to worry about on this physical world that I don't have time to care about what happens above it." fair enough. Shortly after we turn off the show, and lay down to rest for the night. I took the bed opposite of how mine is paired back at my house, somehow it feels familiar, like all the random beds I've slept in over the years. The mattress is less giving then the ones back home, for the better, I don't think I need to get used to this. Maybe my dad is right, the physical world is more important than myself.[2] ---------- [1] "I mean, you'd be dumb if you thought we were the only living sentient beings in this Galaxy."

The Saturday morning front desk staff woman on the other hand, was friendly. My mom made a simple request asking if there was a remote to the TV in the lobby. She looked at me, and my mom suspiciously and strangely like we were crazy. "I have the remote" She said,frustrated. She told us she could only keep the TV on a news station. My mom asked her if she could change the news channel, she was hesitant but finally changed it. She was displeased with my mother and told her that was why we had our own TVS to use in our hotel room. My mom Was shocked and asked her again politely, as this seemed like a simple hotel Guest request, and no one else was even paying attention. Her attitude was surprisingly nasty. She told my mother never she had never had anybody complain about the news station in the public area. Reluctantly, she changed the channel. After me and my mom finished eating, we then checked out and my mom was still kind to this woman and thanked her for the hotel stay. It seemed inappropriate and unprofessional as we had traveled half way across the country for a family funeral. Fortunately, my mom ignored her behavior. The lady kept coming by every few minutes to see if we were still sitting there, probably to change the channel back/ which was creepy because the front desk is far away and there's no way she could could even see or hear the tv from there. Also no one else around really seemed to care. The whole situation was weird. We didn't say anything, we just checked out and left. The other hotel staff was really nice and helpful! We enjoyed our stay except for this one lady who seemed to have a bad attitude in general. Hopefully Holiday Inn doesn't promote this aggressive behavior to its other customers, but my mom and I looked at some other reviews and we did wonder.

Most certainly I will stay here again...I am very happy with my previous stays.

I want to rate the Wildcatter about a 3.7 out of 5…read more Our first visit was over New Year's weekend in 2022. That Saturday the temperature dropped about 40 degrees and the wind starting howling fiercely. Because of the weather we didn't get to participate in any outdoor activities, so I vowed we would make a return visit. Thanksgiving week of 2025, we got to bring our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons for a return visit to Wildcatter. I knew the ranch had been bought by a young couple about a year previously who wanted to upgrade some of the tired aspects of the ranch, so we were excited to explore all the offerings and see what had changed. The Wildcatter Ranch is set on a hill with beautiful views. There is plenty to explore so it is perfect for boys who revel in the outdoors. There is a fishing hole, there are horses in the stable to ride, there is basketball, tetherball, hiking, a pool and hot tub, and there are longhorns to feed each morning. These are all great activities we partook in. They supply guests with fishing poles, basketballs and towels for the pool. My disappointment? On both trips to the ranch, in all 3 cabins, the fireplaces did not seem to be working. (this is 3 cabins of about 12!) The hot tub that they told us we could use? Not working. The 'pony' ride for my grandson who is under 10, the age required for horse rides, that was advertised for 30 minutes? It was a 15 minute guided walk around a field on a horse. The 'hour' trail ride lasted 50 minutes. The session to 'learn grooming and care for a horse'? All three of us were literally handed brushes, told how to walk around the back of a horse, then left standing next to one horse to brush. The optional activities were a bit short on what was advertised, though both boys said their time with the horses was their favorite part of the visit. The steakhouse prices had gone up quite a bit since 2022. We can highly recommend the biscuits, however. They are heavenly.

I was very frustrated that there was not ANY hot protein based breakfast. I wasn't expecting much: some bland, probably runny scrambled eggs and some poor quality breakfast sausage or bacon. Maybe some poor quality sausage and biscuits.
