Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I agree. It's a GREAT forum!

Thank you Anji, Stefan (with an F) and Jen!

Jen, you need to find a Sun when you want to waste precious fuel and drive up to Wild River State Park, near Taylors Falls. Then you can meet Winnie, Ripley... AND ME!

Dave does a snake presetation every Sun (See? I HAD to get over my fear/ickyness because as the Visitor Center Host and his Assistant I gots to help with the presentation and help take care of Ripley.) and we even have video of a Hoggy playing dead that always cracks me up. Then at the end Dave feeds Ripley and I let the kids feed Winnie worms. (Which reminds me. I gotta get vitamins today as I read since Winnie's not getting minnows [yet] she needs calcium, etc. Didn't know that before yesterday.)
