Babcock Ranch Tour

We went to Babcock Ranch on Friday the 28th and took a tour of it. It is a sod ranch and they raise cattle too.

They called it a swamp buggy ride but it was far from a swamp buggy. It was a school bus with all the windows out and a camo paint job.

It was interesting as we did learn the history of the ranch and area. They have a lot of wild life to see. I use the term wild life loose too as all the animals are trained to come running when they hear the bus coming. It's like kids when they hear the ice cream truck coming. We stopped and fed them at certain points.

We walked across a small swampy area on a raised platform. This took us back to the cougars they advertised in their brochure. They were the surprise at the end of our swamp walk. That is where they were pinned up.

A lot of creative advertising went into their brochure but all in all it was a fun day with Mom & Dad and the group from the camp.
