Tiger Adventure Vehicles’ customers recently had the opportunity to participate in the first annual Tiger Retreat at Ted Turner Reserve’s Vermejo 550,000-acre property, known as “the jewel of northern New Mexico” near Raton.
The Tigers drove 90 miles of trails through Vermejo in their 4×4 Tiger RVs, learned about the history of Vermejo and northern New Mexico, the Turner history on the property and Ted Turner’s dedication to conservation since the 1990s (land, bison and everything at Vermejo), Tiger Adventure Vehicles said. The group camped throughout Vermejo from near the bison corrals to Merrick Lake complete with a bison and fish fry dinner to the lower Spring Canyon with charcoal kilns dating back to the 1800s.
Scott Humbaugh, president of Tiger Adventure Vehicles, said, “Every Tiger customer left saying that it was a once in a lifetime experience! We are grateful to Teddy Turner, his son, Robert Turner and the staff at Vermejo for providing this amazing adventure for our Tiger RV customers.”
Ted Turner’s son, Teddy, is a Tiger Vehicles customer, the company said. His father, Ted Turner, was the largest private landowner in the United States, and now his children and grandchildren are taking care of the properties and continuing his conservation legacy.

The company offered its special thanks to Tiger customers, Chris and Meagan Poplawski for the video and Knapp and Ella Hudson for the photographs.
