Title: PTR: Raccoon release, with a side of Bowcraft
Post by: CycloneMan on July 02, 2009, 11:55:38 AM
As some of you know. My family and a few of our friends are wildlife rehabers. My family have had two raccoon cubs for a few weeks that we were taking care of. Anne Bonny (Pirate coon) and Thunder (yes, named after Rolling Thunder) were released on 6/28/09 back into the wild. So here are the pictures from the wilderness :wink:

We drove an hour, and across state to release the guys! The culprates are me, my sister Savannah, my cousin Pebbles, and my brother Anthony. (Mom took the photo)

Me holding Anne Bonny and geting ready to run into the woods, away from the hikers!

And they took off =)

And they found a tree.

Once we saw they were good, we left...

One of us is "hardcore" and the other is "a total loser!" Guess which one I am?

People in NJ eat weird stuff. This was 2 hot dogs covered in peppers, onions and potatoes, served in a "pizza roll" (i.e. Italian bread).

But, the day couldn't be complete without a pit-credit stop  ;)

Any park that has a portrait of Michael Jackson, is a quality park

Crossbow was an interesting coaster.

As you can see, it pulls some bizzare g-forces. Savannah and I in the last row, with Anthony and Pebbles in front of us!

(http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs091.snc1/4937_92759318883_622153883_2053869_6352627_n.jpg)
Anthony and Savannah being "Black Metal" in the front row

Me being an idiot...

And as usual, we end on a silly note.
