I got to visit Caboodle Ranch
Daniel Mahoney wrote:
I would probably combine it with a trip to visit my sister. I forget where they are located, but I seem to remember it wasn't all that close to where sis lives. They're in Lee, FL, about an hour east of Tallahassee. Oh that really *isn't* close to where my sister lives at all. But it would be drivable, just a long trip. (I guess I won't get much sympathy from you on that. ) Maybe I could even talk her into going - she's as much a cat nut as I am.

Can you imagine driving *anywhere* in the Florida heat with A/C? Wow! That was VERY nice of you to go to all the expense, and all of the time, to give them a good vehicle. I'm sure they were VERY happy to get it! I remember seeing on one of the videos I watched, when the Caboodle Ranch was posted here before, that he talked about needing a better vehicle, because he drive a LONG ways to get all the supplies it takes to keep that place running.
