Wednesday

Looks like a road trip for Martha and me! In Martha's attempt to take in all the interesting sites in and near Alachua County she takes me along. She feels like I need to get out more!

Today we went to Two Tails Ranch in Williston.  The ranch is the only privately owned elephant facility of its kind. It was a very hot day and we had a blast!

We learned so much about Asian elephants and enjoyed the brash and sassy ranch owner's talk.

Years ago the ranch owner's children taught "Luke" how to paint...

You can purchase his paintings in the gift shop...

Feeding and riding the elephants are permitted for a fee.

There were many other animals on the ranch.
