Petting a baby spotted leopard named Turbo was the highlight of my 30th
birthday. Alan surprised me with a day trip to the Oregon coast where we
visited the West Coast Game Park Safari,
just south of Bandon and Coos Bay. It's an accessible walk though
park where you can see dozens of exotic animals like a white tiger,
lemurs, cat bear, tatanka and chimpanzees (Yes! We say him throw pop).
About every hour or so a trainer would bring out a baby cub for the
visitors to pet and take pictures with. What a treat! We met a 6 month
old tiger cub too. Roaming the property is a herd of friendly farm
animals like llamas, goats, sheep, deer, geese, ect. They are fun to
feed and watch roaming around the property. Enjoy the
photos!

What a treat! We stayed in a Tipi and visited an active
paleontological Mammoth dig site in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The Mammoth Site
is the world’s largest mammoth
research facility. We toured Ice Age fossils exhibited as they are found
and our guide described the geology of the land and ice age flora and
fauna. I bought a kick ass glow in the dig mammoth t-shirt and prairie
flower seeds at the gift shop. I highly recommend visiting the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, South Dakota.
One of the highlights of our road trip was staying in this
tipi, hiking around the hills and swimming in the sift watm creek that
was feed by the hot spring... Heavenly!

This steel arch bridge in in the Appalachian Mountains extends 3,030 feet over the New River Gorge
near Fayetteville, West Virginia. The arch is 1,700 feet long and was
for many years the world's longest arch bridge; it is now the third
longest.
Alan and I stopped here briefly on our road trip and had a delightful
picnic lunch provided by our gracious hosts, Tom and Karen Burg. Thank
you Uncle Tom and Karen!

In April 2011, Aaron Wirth, Adie and I drove 3,000 miles
from Eugene,Or to Wesser, NC. It took us a week to cross the US and we
saw some amazing sites along the way! The great salt flats just outside
Salt Lake City, mt biking in Moab, winning in Colorado are a just few
of our favorite memories. Truly this week was one of the best weeks of
my life. Thank you Aaron!!
