Virena Feeding Animals

Today was a fun day, we visited a Bison Ranch.  So lets get started with the day.  Here is an alpaca with its baby.

And this is just the start, here is a 10 day old baby pony and looked like less than 24″ tall, mom looked like about the size of a large Great Dane.

And here is Virena riding a Buffalo, I can’t decide if she is having fun or not 🙂

And then we went for a train ride

And while on our train ride we saw a herd of buffalo

And let me tell you their tongue is very rough but for such a big animal they were very gentle; however, the gentleman telling about the buffalo said that if we got off the train we would be attached…  And I remember when we were at Yellowstone the rangers said more people are hurt by buffalo attaches than any other animal.

Here are some more animals that we saw the first one is a jackalope

And do you think I could get Virena to ride that buffalo?  Well I think the picture says it all

She wouldn’t get close to these camels DSCF1675

And then after spending the day checking out the various animals we decided to have dinner and their restaurant.  Virena had the wings and she said they were the best wings she has ever had, and I had a buffalo burger that was also great.  This was a preview for Virena’s birthday.

Toilet Parts

Today’s challenge is to pickup the parts needed to repair the toilet, it is a Sealand 511 and went online, my favorite place to find information.  Looks like Camping World has a good price, so called to make sure they have parts in stock.  And was told I would receive a call back to confirm the parts we on the shelf.  So about 1.5 hours later I received a call stating yes they have to parts and their location is in Golden, the opposite side of Denver.  We headed out, when we arrived the counter sales person said yes the part were laid out for me Great news!  Rang up the sale and the price came out to 50% higher than the web page showed.  I had put the prices from the web page on my cell phone to make sure what the cost would be.  After about 5 or 10 minutes the sales person said yes they would honor the web page price, good news.  So now I have parts and just need to install the parts.  That is a project for another day because tomorrow will be a travel day, check back and see where we are going to be.

We did enjoy our ride today, and it is great to be able to see all the different colors, sizes, and shapes of the formations.  We are finding it to be hotter that what we like and are planning on heading north shortly to see if we can find cooler weather!!
