Dude-Ranch Lite. The five-night package at the Tamaya stables in Santa Ana Pueblo, N.M., includes horseback-riding lessons from owner Connie Collins - she'll teach more experienced riders western rodeo - and guided treks along the cottonwood trees that line the Rio Grande and Jemez rivers. The package has a camp-for-grown-ups feel, with Collins and her guides mixing margaritas on the ranch porch, and a rodeo (guests can take part) and an awards ceremony at the end of your stay. The stables are partnered with the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa, where you get lodging...
...Everyone on line was so enthused about Obama, and they were talking about how there was a place we could volunteer, so I asked where it was, and here I am," she says, flipping her long, dark hair over her shoulder. Anderson has returned nearly daily to the tiny Cottonwood office, rented four months ago by volunteers pooling their resources...
...Dems' volunteer office in Cottonwood is an example of how far grass-roots Democrats have come, virtually on their own.

...majestic menagerie. The kind of activity on view depends on the time of year. May's awkward newborns turn into playful calves during Wyoming's short-lived summer, gamboling through meadows of white phlox, buttercups and yellow bells. Fall features the fluttering of brilliant gold aspen and robust red cottonwood trees and the distinctive opportunity to hear elk bugling?the characteristic mating call of the bull elk. In winter, large animals move less, making them easier to spot; moose, deer, bison and thousands of elk are frequently sighted. Springtime, meanwhile, carries the tantalizing possibility of seeing bears emerge from their...
...Wilson, 31, who visited the farm with her husband and kids, ages 2 and 5, on a recent Sunday, Cottonwood Farms is just good, old-fashioned fun. "The idea of being outdoors, the animals, the nature--except for reading about it in storybooks or seeing pictures, this isn't something the kids would get to experience," she says. Such enthusiasm has helped thousands of farmers like Siegel to thrive in the growing business of agricultural tourism. At a time when profit margins for crops have been slashed razor thin by rising costs, "you have to consider agritainment," says Kay Hollabaugh...
