Sitting on the banks of the Yellow River, along US 78 in Lilburn, GA is the Yellow River Game Ranch.
Rather than looking at exotic animals from afar, here the idea is up close and personal… occasionally VERY personal. Here most of the animals wander the park with the visitors. Of course the bears, bobcats, cougars, foxes and bison ARE separated from onlookers but deer, peacocks, chickens, rabbits and squirrels are quite happy to walk up and introduce themselves… especially for a cracker or a peanut. In fact, they may remind you that they would REALLY like a peanut or cracker…
The Yellow River Game Ranch is also the home of the Southeast’s most famous weather prognosticator… General Beau Lee… our Groundhog. I guess it is good work if you can get it… one day a year… celebrities… free food. While we were there today, General Lee certainly didn’t see his shadow, he was busy watching TV with his satellite dish.
So, wander through the pictures. And, the next time you want to hang out in the shade and make some new furry friends, drop into the Yellow River Game Ranch. Say hi to the General for me.
Feel free to check into the post here on LaneBailey.com for the rest of the pictures... there are more than 40.
