If baby hippos can be brats this little one, was a brat.  He or she spent the afternoon between these two adults chewing on their ears and sitting on their faces.

The White and Black Rhino


The location of these rhinos remains a secret, so I am unable to reveal what state we saw these in.  These endangered rhinos are highly protected by many means, but still are being poached.  100 more this year again.  Its crazy and dangerous to hear what the poachers are capable of.  Cutting off the horn to protect them has not helped because the poachers will kill them anyway out of spite. Private preserves are having more success than the National parks in doing this dangerous job of protecting these large creatures.

    About  Us

    After my husbands widow maker heart attack in 2004, the doctor said just relax and enjoy life for a while. So it happened: the 43' NewMar Mountain Aire coach was purchased and the house sold....eventually. Relaxing? Not always! We are truly blessed to spend this time together... and with friends. 

    Up Date:

    September 2015 now traveling with Ford F350diesel dually and Host Mammoth Truck Camper.
