Eureka Camping Place

One P-day afternoon we decided to find this campground that was supposed to have lots of zebra and giraffe.  Elder and Sister Salmon said they wanted to go too, and Bodilys were out of town, so off we went.  It is a small park about 30 minutes outside of town and it was really quite fun.  We were able to drive through the park and get out and do whatever we wanted.  We had never been this close to zebra as they tend to be a bit timid.  The stripes on their head and face are very beautiful

They are quite amazing and beautiful animals.  And all individually striped!
There are no two zebra stripped alike!
We were able to get pretty close to them too!

There were multiple giraffe browsing on the trees.  And they were not very afraid of people.  We watched them from the car and then got out and walked toward them. 
They definitely have their comfort space and 
when we got too close, they took off.  


We saw several types of antelope and really like Kudu that has the curly horns.  They are pretty magnificent animals.

 



The park has a swimming pool (not shown) and these cute chalets that can be rented out for a night.  They were locked so we couldn't see inside, but we think it would be fun to be able to spend a night there knowing there were zebra and giraffe grazing right outside our door!
