November 25, 2016 By Nedra McDaniel 1 Comment

A Behind the Scenes Tour of the Toldeo Zoo

I have to start out with a confession, I honestly didn’t really know if the Toledo Zoo could compare to my home zoo (Cincinnati Zoo) and I was pleasantly surprised that the Toledo Zoo exceeded my expectations.

If you love elephants, this elephant encounter is a must!

For my first visit to Wilstem Ranch, I tried an adventure on their ATV tour that gave me more confidence that I could drive an ATV successfully over challenging terrain. For my second adventure at Wilstem Ranch, I discovered another reason that I HAD to go back.

An Encounter with Wolves at Wolf Creek Habitat and Rescue

An encounter with wolves at Wolf Creek Habitat and Rescue

A friend shared with me about a wolf encounter that she has in Brookville, Indiana and I immediately became obsessed with crossing a wolf encounter off of my adventure list as soon as possible.
