Best Friends Animal Sanctuary





























Hi there everyone,




Today was a fun day, we started out the day with a visit to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. This is a Animal rescue site that use to be featured on a National Geographic program called 'Dog Town'. This organization has over 300 dogs, more than 500 cats, 50 horses as well as bunnies, Pigs, and other wild animals. We got to see an orientation Video as well as an hour and a half long tour of the massive and wonderful facility. They have over 350 full time employees and more than 4,000 volunteers. WOW! Though we would love to be part of it, Carol and I think they have things pretty well covered. It might be a place to keep in mind if you are ever in the area and want to do volunteer work, 'cause they have RV spots you can rent while at the facility!




After we had lunch in Kanab, which is just south of the Animal Sanctuary, we headed north, past camp up to the town of Panguitch. This is a little town we read about in the Via magazine from AAA. The article was about a family that bought an old movie theater called the GEM and re-opened it after renovating it, in addition to an ice cream shop. These folks have a lot to be proud of. If you get a chance check out their website at http://www.scoopsfromthepast.com The rest of the town of Panguitch was great too look at as well.


Tomorrow, we are going to start our trip home by heading through Las Vegas and stop at the ghost town of Calico California and then take a tour at the 20 Mule Team Museum in Boron California.


Stay tuned!


Happy camping! - Eric and Carol -
