Annual Red Bay, Alabama Trip

On our way back home in April, we always have work to be done at Tiffin Motor Homes, where our coach was built.  We had a few things that were under warranty plus we wanted to get rid of our front curtains and have some shades installed.

They have over 50 stalls in their garage and about 100 hook-ups for people waiting to have work done.  You can see them all lined up.  It took us 2 weeks.

While in Red Bay, we had to introduce our favorite place to another couple from Maine who were waiting for work to be done.  The Rattlesnake Saloon.

You can't drive your own car down, they have a pick-up truck with seats in the back that drives you down there.

As you can see, the road is steep and narrow.

This is looking back up at it.

This is a huge cave, see the stone ceiling.

It's really awesome to see it in person, pictures don't do it any justice.  And the food is great.





A Day at the Zoo

We spent  March 16th at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne.   It was an incredible place.  When I think zoo I think animals in cages.  These animals were all in large areas set up like their natural environment.

Check out these giraffes, the 2 laying down are just papies.

They track all births and where the babies go so that they don't inter-breed.

I love their faces.

Check out the bird, I like how they mix the animals they can instead of seperating them all.

Here's an ostrich with 2 kangaroos.  I really wanted to take a picture of one standing up, but could wait just so long for one to get up.  Must have been nap time.

The birds were awesome, and so colorful.


Check out the stork, guess there weren't any baby deliveries that day, or it was his day off.

So many are so bright.

There were several birds in this area that you could feed nectar to in little cups.

Like this.  They came right up to the people.

I thought this one looked really different.  Almost like an artist painted a wooded bird whatever way he wanted to.

Two bald eagles.  They were injured and couldn't fly.

Look at this very long beak.

There were loads of flamingo's but could not get a picture of one with it's neck straight.  I guess they were all cleaning themselves.

We saw rhinorasus, wild pigs, leopards, turtles, snakes, etc.  Had so many pictures tried to pick just the best ones
