The PPR is a posh desert retreat in Rodeo, NM built to the finest specification and served as the exclusive getaway for a well-known Silicon Valley Software Entrepreneur. This was a place to entertain large gatherings in the serenity and natural beauty of the isolated high New Mexican desert. This now can be your private playground in the desert of New Mexico for your friends, family, and business associates. Under new ownership, you too can enjoy a destination that was envisioned and built for leaving the rest of the world behind.
This exclusive Family Reunion event is hosted by Bob Ashley the owner of The Chiricahua Desert Museum in Rodeo, NM (NM's premier rattlesnake educational outreach and exhibit). Ashley conducts these educational field trips for Family Reunion's hosted by the Painted Pony Resort.
Careful scientific observation, highly entertaining anecdotes, a passion for rattlesnakes, unique insight and commitment to coexistence with wildlife make this an event you will not want to miss. Ashley maintains the largest and rarest collection of rattlesnakes in the history of the State of New Mexico, encompassing a very diverse group of nearly 100 animals. Throughout his career he has successfully bred and raised countless species of reptiles placing many on display at The Chiricahua Desert Museum. The Museum also maintains a large and unusual art collection.
This is a 2-3 hour entertaining field trip to the Museum which is only 10 minutes from the resort. It includes a lecture on rattlesnakes with emphasis on the local ecology and local species of snakes; a tour of the museum and exhibits; walk through of the outside Wildlife Garden; and a 10% discount on any merchandise purchased at their huge gift shop. Also, refreshments will be included. This is a very rare opportunity to see animals most of us have only ever seen on Animal Planet.www.chiricahuadesertmuseum.com
Plan on being at the Museum by 10 AM the day of your Safari. You will need to confirm your date with the Museum at least two weeks in advance of your arrival.
