It has been an eventful last few days. The most important thing that happened today is that Cardinal Harbour sold out. We reached out limit of 300 participants. There will be no race day registration.

Last Friday I went down the Game Farm to check out the trails for an upcoming run. It has been a long time since I have been that excited. The Game Farm is a wonderful place. If you have not been there make a point to see it. For those of you who do not even know what I am talking about the Game Farm is ran by Fish and Wildlife. It is on US 60 just west of Frankfort. There are a couple of lake and picnic shelters along with several picnic tables scattered around. The Salato Center is an educational center with many exhibits and educational programs about native wildlife and restoration projects. There is a small zoo with Bald eagles, bear, elk, bison, deer, wildcats, a drangonfly marsh, and living stream exhibit. In addition to all this there are several miles of trails to enjoy.

Now for my preaching. Everything I just described is funded by Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. They are the department that is in charge of all conservation and restoration projects in the state. No money from the general fund goes to any of these projects they are funded only by the sale of hunting and fishing license and other fees paid by outdoorsmen in the state. The bottom line is no matter how much of an environmentalist you consider yourself unless you hunt, fish, or make a direct donation to Fish and Wildlife you do not contribute to the things in this state that you say you are for. Take a trip to the Game Farm and check it out and I am sure you will want to do more.

On to the next subject. Saturday Cynthia and I went to the New Talon Winery here in Shelbyville. It was a nice experience and well worth the trip have a tasting and sit out over the quarry and have a glass of wine.
