We got an early start this morning to go to Bear Country, a drive through wild life park that is located 8 miles south of Rapid City, South Dakota.  There is a collection of all the local species and they are kept in large open space where they can roam yet strategically separated so they do not prey on each other.  They had elk, various species of deer, wolves, mountain goats, big horn sheep, mountain lions, and lots and lots of bears.  The bears where roaming on the road and around the cars seemingly undisturbed.   It was awesome to see so many bears especially in the safety of our car.
