Ripkin (aka "Fat Girl") level reached!

Though it was only one mile to reach Ripkin level, I came back early from a workshop this morning and had about 45 minutes available for walking today. Thus I took advantage of this extra time. Ripkin has been reached and now is the Lucifer the Hippo. Lu is at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park.

He's getting up in age but a really cool fella. Not sure why I picked some rather large animals (as I'm hoping to slowly shed pounds), but many are a mix of animals I like. Then again the top level of the Florida Trek (2000 miles)is the lovely veggie-eating manatee.

Manatees are fabulous creatures. I'm a member of Save the Manatee Club and have been since 1993 (I think?). They are not the most beautiful animals, but are slow moving, precious, and lovable animals. Enjoy!
