Kansas City Zoo

- August 15, 2023

I went to the Kansas City Zoo yesterday. It is in Swope park in the south east part of Kansas City. As a Jackson County resident, which I am, you receive free entry to the zoo from time to time in the mail. I'll start by saying I'm not a zoo person, seeing animals in cages is not exactly a good time for me but I do love animals and since entry was free and it was a beautiful day I took advantage. It is a nice zoo, it is quite large and they have lots of exhibits. My favorite was the polar bear, Nuniq is his name. He was so playful and it was incredible to watch him play with his toy inside of his habitat. What was odd is seeing a polar bear in the Midwest in the middle of August, and this is why I dont love zoos. Sanctuaries, rescues, I'm all for those.

Cave Springs Park cave - Raytown Missouri

- August 21, 2023

Cave Springs Park cave - Raytown Missouri Cave Springs Park is right near my house. I take my dogs there for a walk a couple times a week. They have great little trails through the woods, a pavilion, playground, some picnic areas as well as the cave. Someday I'll do a longer review of the rest of the park but this post is just about the cave. There is one cave, it is a very small cave with a little trickle of water that feeds a small creek. The cave is located off the main path to the right when you get to the bottom of the hill. If you hit the pond you've gone to far.
