   A few months ago I had the chance to hear a male lion roar at the zoo here in Idaho Falls. I was no more than 30 feet away, and let me tell you, me and Mrs. CH were TERRIFIED!! Even though we had electric wires surrounding the exhibit, at some level we were transported back to Africa. Afterwards, Mrs. CH told me: “No way we’re going on safari. EVER!”

   You MUST do the drive from Rapid City, SD to Billings, MT. Talk about open spaces!!! It’s been 2 and a half years, and I still miss it!

   You’re right. Haven’t made it to Billings yet .

   I made a drive from UP Michigan (I love long road trips) through Minnesota, the Dakotas & into the SE corner of Montana.
   Stopped for breakfast at a diner in a small town in Montana. It felt like home.

   On the way, I noticed on the map that I was near the geographic center of North America, so I went driving on the backroads of North Dakota, looking for some kind of marker. I didn’t find one, but when I stopped by the side of the road for a break, I noticed I was surrounded by miles of wheat fields, flowing like waves in the breeze. It was beautiful.

   America is great.

   So do I. But Mrs. CH got enough of Africa just watching, hearing and FEELING the lion’s roar. The roar felt like what you feel when you’re next to a giant speaker: you could feel your internal organs vibrate with those low, rumbling tones. Quite impressive.

    Last Sept. was doing a scratch camp 1/4 mile from “Out of Africa”, an attraction where our Game and Fish Dept. take confiscated big cats.
    About 3 a.m., the lions started coughing!

    Interstate 10, heading across Texas from EL Paso. When you make San Antone,
    you feel like you’ve reached the promised land.

    “In rural West Texas, several local law enforecment agencies have realized the monetary gains to be had by conducting speed trap law enforcement along the corridor. These agencies have been proven by the Texas Department of Public Safety to be specifically targeting out-of-state drivers travelling on Interstate 10. The most well-known is Sutton County, Texas, averaging more than 48,000 citations per year (over 10 per year per capita). Recent changes raising the speed limit have helped to the problem, but enforcement remains very strict for foreign drivers.”

    Maxine who? She can have her own little corner of that hellhole in LaLaLand.
    The rest of America is great.

    The geographic center of the U.S. is in Belle Fourche, SD. About 10 miles north of I-80. We visited on the way to Billings.You can go to the town , where they have a marker, or drive about 30 miles north, to where the exact spot is. Your description of ND reminds me of Kansas, between Manhattan and Boot Hill.

    You’re right: America’s great!

    Worst drive in the U.S.: I-95 between Miami and Jacksonville. Bar none.

    One of the best: I-80 between Billings and Yellowstone National Park. Playing tag with the Yellowstone River, you can see pronghorn, deer and bison from the road. Lots of birds too, specially in the spring. No cities, only little towns, not too much traffic. Beautiful scenery.

    The drive up on the North Shore of Minnesota is amazing!! Especially in the Fall.

    Also, Lake Superior in winter is majestic. The waves crash up on the shore, then freeze in motion. Quite a phenomena. We were in a rented condo one winter and one night we heard this plaintive crying and moaning out on the lake. It went on for a very long time. We were told it was probably a moose who fell into the water. The ice on Lake Superior moves and changes, leaving spaces of open water. The animals “think” it’s safe and fall in. Sad.

    Catch feeding time at a lion house sometime. If you liked one cat, imagine what a ruckus throwing raw bloody steaks to a dozen provokes (kinda like this blog, come to think)!

    By single term limiting these ‘public servants,’ we will never again see these people spending all their time and money running for reelection. One term and they are finished – this was the vision of the Founders.

    When John McCain (R-AZ) took his remaining $21.5 million presidential campaign funds along with donations from his addlepated followers (private, corporate and RNC) and wife, Ms. ‘Budweiser of AZ,’ and began his slanderous campaign on radio, television and print against the couple of million dollars raised by JD Hayworth, I wanted to vomit.

    Part of McCain’s reelection diatribe focused on ‘buildin’ that damn fence.’ This long-running and self-serving turd doesn’t give a crap about the American people. If you don’t believe this to be the truth then just ask any veteran.
