French Creek Game Farm
Last week we enjoyed a trip to Rock Cave to check on our friend, French Creek Freddie, West Virginia's very own groundhog. Due to poor weather we decided to skip the Groundhog's Day event on Sunday and go a day earlier to visit all the animals. It was a beautiful day with lots of sun and warm breezes. Perfect for our cabin fever from those single digits and snow from the weeks before. It was also my aunt's birthday, which we always associate with the Groundhog's Day holiday. She had a wonderful day, even though we didn't get to see Freddie. We believe they had him in the lodge giving him a massage, pedicure/manicure, and a feast deserving of such a celebrity in preparation for the next days events.
Although we didn't get to see French Creek Freddie we saw bear, mountain lions, bobcats, wolves, owls, turkey, deer, eagles, elk and hawk.
All the animals seemed very happy to come out and socialize. I think they had a case of cabin fever as well. The next day French Creek Freddie did not see his shadow, which according to Groundhog Day tradition means an early spring!!!
Thanks for visiting,
Erin
