Bio John Cochran
My wife and I bought Little Bend Cabin (#299) five years ago. Since that time we have come to love Wilderness Ranch and everything it is supposed to be. I am interested in serving on the Board as someone who came to the Ranch from a distance and now am looking to settle in the area. Goals for serving would be:
1. Improve communication between the Ranch Board and Membership
2. Add benefits to Members with Summer Trash Containers and a permanent pavilion being placed at the communal lot.
3. Continue the work on the Fencing, pond-stocking, and Rd 38 maintenance.
In doing these things we should be able to grow the LOA and improve our overall situation.
Bio Eli Allen
Eli Allen lives in Baggs, Wy and owns Lots 822 and 823 in Filing No 11.
Eli is currently serving on the board of Directors and has volunteered time and equipment to help maintain the boundary fence lines, fill and empty the association water tank, set up and clean up after annual summer meetings, clear trails of down trees and deliver fish to the ponds each summer.

Additionally, she coordinates acquiring the fish stocking permit, fish delivery, and annual membership meetings.
