Do you know what the month and day was for the ranger stations first time online

 

[Jim Oaks]

I don't recall when the first day was that The Ranger Station went online.

At first it was therangerstation.cjb.net. You can see it in the Internet Archive on October 13th 1999:

Wayback Machine (archive.org)

But by that time I had already hosted a trail ride.

I began using therangerstation.com in 2000. Here's therangerstation.com on September 28, 2000:

Wayback Machine (archive.org)

At this point The Ranger Station had been listed as a resource in in a July 2000 article in 4x4 Power Magazine.

Why didn't you just go to prom in her Bronco?

The Bronco owner would have been in middle school an hour away and the Bronco was -20... it kinda weirds her out she was almost 12 when I got my Ranger.
