On April 11th, Tractor helps us find our way to Alachua, FL. We had reservations at the Travelers Campground. It gets mixed reviews because it has an unusual site arrangement, but I'm so glad we stayed there because it had all sorts of barnyard critters our critters got to interact with!!
Like donkeys...
and horses...
a goatie...
(Bill, Hayes, and ever-present poop bag...!)
and peacocks...
I just can't get over how pretty and green it is in these areas!
Hayes finds another horse to play with!
Heading back to the RVs, but we warn the horse "We'll be back!"
The RVs park in lines, the idea seemingly that there are open rows in between each used row, so if someone parked behind someone else needs to leave earlier, they drive over the grass to get to the open row and just head out. Some people evidently don't care for this layout, but it worked fine for us! You can see here by the puddles, we got some good rain at this stop!
and parrots...
Hayes found the array of animals here absolutely fascinating!!
So pretty!
The kitties wanted to check everybody out too, of course!
Scratty and a donkey getting up close and personal!
Tractor says "Hello! What are you?"
And then, "Whoa!! That's a little close, buddy!!! You have a BIG head!!!!"
"Well, maybe you're OK though...," he says as he pets the horse... (Tractor "pets" us too, with little light repeated pawing on our faces)
Scratty's cool with the horse too...
and emus...
And back to the other horse...
We loved how patient, open, and tolerant the campground critters were, letting all of our guys get right up in their faces!
Tractor says "I've had enough, I'm outta here!"
The dogs, on the other hand, think horses are awesome!!! In fact, Hayes seems to have a horsey fetish. Whenever we're driving around, and we point out a horse, Hayes goes bonkers to get to a window and see! For Zouey, it's cows...
And back home again.
We spent three nights here, so there were frequent animal encounter outings! Here, Zou and the emu get to know each other a little better...
Tractor imitating Grumpy Cat (although I think he was actually enjoying the heck out of himself!)
Hayes and Tractor at "the zoo."
Is Hayes appreciating how cute his sister is, walking by, or is he thinking to himself how good she'd be with some roasted veggies?!! Hayes and the cats were mostly getting along really well by this point, but there was still some fine-tuning going on...
Princess Scratty in her throne, and the dog on the ground, where he belongs...!?
Meeting up on the Truce Table.
