Donna kicks it off reminiscing back to 1986 when she gathered with friends to celebrate New Years at the ranch. From her experiences as a rent-a-ranger and mountain trek mom to encounters with wildlife and full moon pranks, Donna embodies that special connection we all feel while sitting around a fire, gathering and reconnecting with Philmont friends.
