To learn more, read our blog Giraffes. And feeding them is fun, although very messy. They drool. A lot! Everyone gets a cup of food when they start the drive. And it is hard as all the babies come running up to the truck looking for a handout. The new American red wolf habitat. And now to the red wolves! As many folks know, we are passionate about helping save our American red wolf from extinction. So we are thrilled to see both the new habitats and their red wolves. This past May, for the first time in years, red wolves were released into the wild in Eastern NC from breeding facilities.
Without organizations like Fossil Rim Wildlife Center , there would no way to save the red wolf. Over the years, they have had 31 pups born which is an incredible boost to the population in human care.
We applaud their efforts and commitment! Nothing like posing in front of the sculpture! Baby cheetahs are so cute! Having never been very close to a cheetah, I am stunned at how feisty the babies are. One of the little girls stomps her feet and hisses at me. Not once, but twice! The babies will stay with their mom for 1. Most of the adult cheetahs we see just laze around. It is, after all, over degrees. With one of the most robust breeding programs in the country, Fossil Rim consistently has one of the largest cheetah populations in the US.
Overall, Fossil Rim is simply amazing. Everyone we meet is so passionate about the animals in their care, the safari drive is out of this world and the conservation work they are doing is beyond inspiring. We will be back! The morning after our tour of Fossil Rim, Warren is taking us dinosaur tracking with a guide from the State Park where we are staying. That is a first. We meet Asa, our guide, who is a dinosaur expert and just an all-around great guy.
We learn about the Pleurocoelus think brontosaurus and Acrocanthosaurus think tyrannosaurus dinosaurs that roamed these rivers million years ago. Can you tell what dinosaur made this track? The carnivorous tyrannosaurus. What a view from our campsite in Louisiana. As soon as we finish dinosaur tracking, we check the weather. Tropical Storm Fred is moving onshore and it looks to be heading toward home.
And we have to drive right through it. Common sense prevails and we unhook the Underdog and say goodby to Texas. After slogging through what feels like a tropical storm on the border of Texas, we cross into Louisiana and spend the night at DArbonne State Park. Again, we get a premo spot site 44 right on the lake. I just wish we could stay longer…. Driving down the road trying to beat the storm, we decide to stop near Atlanta.
We drive up and park next to a bunch of old farm silos. Turns out this used to be a chicken farm and the owner has turned the silos into bathrooms and a very cute laundry. We are the only ones at the campsite and we enjoy a quick breakfast the next morning before heading out on the last leg of our journey!
