Ellement Wellness - Congratulations to our September 2022 Caroline Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month recipients, Ellement Wellness.

The June 2022 Caroline Chamber Business of the month has been awarded to Ram River Tours.   We wish to thank the Caroline Chamber of Commerce for the recognition of Business of the Month. 

Our Outfitting business began in 1988 when a deal was struck with Janet Trimble and Trimble Outfitters. Roy and Janet established their business in 1965 and became famous in the Sheep hunting world. Roy became ill with Lou  Gherrig disease and eventually left us way too young. Janet carried on, did a very great job that we continued. 

In 1994 we struck another deal with Don Sands and Charlie Miller who had taken over the Sammy Sands Outfit. They operated just north of us in the Whiterabbit unit. They were good neighbors and also had a great reputation in the Sheep hunting world. 

With the Sammy Sands Outfit not only came the sheep hunting but also a Trail Riding business in a Class 1 area.  We no longer take Sheep hunters; however, Sharmane believes in supporting our youth.  She keeps very busy at our North Ram Basecamp from Spring  through Fall accommodating riders, Kid Camps and sharing our cabins year round, with guests from everywhere. Our goal is to provide a western outfitter style experience enjoying the cozy wood stove and campfire cooking.  Some of the trails we ride have been around for a very long time.  

David Thompson, in his search for the Northwest Passage explored and travelled up the North Ram Valley in about 1705 in search of an easy route through the Rockies to the Pacific. Well it was a failure however he created some very interesting history that we continue to share. 

We have a great Crew, a great string of horses and the Western Heritage will live on.  Sharmane  continues to raise a very popular line of  Australian Shepard stock dogs and also enjoys sharing her great voice singing at many weddings and funerals throughout the year.  Lorne is very busy working with government and the University working on cougar research projects and taking hunters in the winter. He also keeps active on many committees helping to keep our West Country healthy and an awesome tourist destination.

Daughters Lyndsay, Amy and Josey all remain very active in helping keeping this western way of life alive and healthy.
