Kickin’ things off with dinner at the Goodnight Steakhouse, in the town of Albany, a laid-back Texas spot serving up burgers, steaks, and all the good stuff. Both adults and teens are invited. Time ~7pm (TBC).
Evening Fun
After we eat, we’ll head back to the ranch and adults will enjoy cocktails, maybe some 2-step dancing, or just sittin’, drinkin’, and chillin’ like proper Texans.

Saturday 02.28
Breakfast:
9:30–11:00am at Fort Richardson. Fuel up. Big day ahead.
Activities
An all-day buffet of ranch fun: fishing, biking, kayaking, shooting, swimming, and a Texas-style Sunset Wildlife Tour.
Quick heads-up: the lake is cold. Like “question your life choices” cold 🥶
Bring your rods, bait, kayak, and bikes if you’ve got them. Don’t? No problem. We’ve got some.
Dinner
At the Cook Shack (time TBC).
After dinner, we’ll wind things down Texas-style with poker, a campfire-stargazing, or both depending on how the night’s feeling.
