The Wilds

Pulled out at 8 AM and traveled some great back roads in Ohio reaching the Wilds by 9:35 as planned. This place was more than I had expected. We boarded the open air bus and pulled through the automatic gates. Ronnie, our tour guide and bus driver, drove slowly over the bumpy dirt trails stopping at various locations in the open fields where animals were grazing or wondering; buffalo, zebras, giraffes, rhinoceros, elk, and many, many more. After our safari they had prepared us a lunch which we ate on the overlook and then headed out to find some back roads on which to play. I had the directions from the Internet for the Ohio Dragon, route 536; 11 miles of twists and turns, uphill and down scraping floorboards as you first lean left and then lean right. I don’t think there is one single straight stretch in the whole 11 miles. Then we got on Ohio 7 which runs right along the river. Dinner was pizza ordered in and shared in the social room where the ladies talked and the men played cards.
