WINNEMUCCA


Getting to Winnemucca, Nevada, from Green Valley isn't an easy trip.  Most of it is through the Great Basin in Nevada. Below shows what a great deal of the trip looks like. Miles and miles of nothing!

 
We arrived at K.C's about 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.  Below are pictures of his beautiful back yard.  He has two waterfalls with ponds filled with Koi.
 K.C explaining to Bob the workings of the whole pond.
 In one corner of his yard he grows vegetables and herbs. Below he has herbs growing in an old toilet!
 
 

K.C has an African Grey Parrot also.  Shylo is on the left and Boomer on the right.  Boomer didn't want to be on this perch with Shylo!

 

 
K.C just built a new room onto his house for his critters! He has Poison Dart Frogs. Below is a picture of one of them.  He has many, many different kinds, but this is the only one I could get a picture of.

One of his many Leopard Geckos

A rare picture of K.C and I together
 
Tonight, Friday, we had a get together on the deck with K.C's dad, Don and his wife Terri, and an old friend Carol and her husband, Tom.  Carol was K.C's first grade teacher.  



We are leaving for Boise tomorrow and Boomer is going to stay with K.C while we are in Idaho.  K.C says that Bird Boot camp begins tomorrow.

Wow, what a zoo! I guess KC inherited your love for animals.
