06/09 African Safari










































































































We stopped in Winston OR for a SUPER treat. A wildlife conservation reserve has created an incredible outdoor drive through experience of mostly African wildlife. Everything from Thomson's Gazelle, Elephants, Tigers, Cheetah, Wildebeest...and VERY FAT SQUIRRELS!!! Definitely the stars of the show were the ultra fat local squirells who have exploded in this food rich environment.

You know how when you see a squirrel cross the road, mostly you say.." Wooo what was that? A squirrel?" Mostly because it's running so fast. Not these squirrels. They stop in the middle of the road to pick their teeth as their bellies drag across the road! A peek in some of the feeders turns up teams of the belly draggers! Too funny.

The tour took about one hour 1 hour to get through the park. Andrew and Kaylee took turns steering the big truck and the sun was out to the tune of about 85 degrees.

Chack it out.
