For Peggy!!!!

He's a Maniac--maniac on the floor, and he's laying there like he's never laid before

 

[Laurie]

Day two of our trip--you know the day where we were waking up and immediately heading for home so we would be to Peggy's by 2pm and on the road by 3pm---

aka walk around Bear Country and leave at Rapids City at 12:21pm and arrive at Peggy's after 5pm and get on the road back home at 5:53

We stopped at the National Wildlife Forest to take pics--but it's just a bunch of trees.

Then onto Bear Country Wildlife. You could ride through it and see elk, mountain sheep, reindeer, wolves, mountain lions and bears. The bears came right up to the car. We were told to keep the windows closed however we did not listen (much like Sandi not turning off her car when fueling)

Awesome cabin! Love the critters and the corn person!

My FAVORITE pic of the trip (besides kissing Fluffy)

Wolves!!
Here they are enclosed

I've always said as smart as man is he is the stupidest of God's creatures. Someday (soon) I know man will kill off all the wolves. This breaks my heart

Wolves!!

[Laurie]

Mountain Lions--you really couldn't get close and see them No one but me cared because I am the only cat lover in the bunch

 

[Laurie]

And of course BEAR!

When they say lumber boy do they mean it! The guy right above took forever just to walk a few steps!

 

[Laurie]

Dinner time! I'll post the baby bear pics and rest of Bear Country after dinner!

I was the only one in the crew anxious to take pics of all the animals there. Sandi, Peggy and Shayna beehived it to the baby bears immediately. But here on the animals along the way!

What's this?? The Wisconsin state animal in South Dakota??!
The Badger

These are very vicious animals! You can tell right???

Porcupine

The very beautiful Lynx

Here's his sleeping family
