There was a newspaper quilt with old newspapers as filler for added warmth and a gorgeous cherry blossom quilt. Set aside at least a couple hours to see everything!

Visually, this is an incredibly beautiful place. And it was once a very quiet/peaceful/relatively…read morenatural one too. That's until the geniuses at Nebraska Game & Parks decide to install an ugly, noisy, multi-station "shooting range" in this once-beautiful park. Now, most times it's pleasant enough for visitors to want to find a little peace and quiet and enjoy some nature, you'll be treated instead to loud volleys of gunfire echoing through the the Wildcat Hills (including nearby public land parcels Buffalo Creek and Montz Ranch). The Nature Center was expanded at the same time as the "shooting complex" was installed, which is fortunate, since that is likely the only place you'll see much "nature" amidst the noise. The "shooting range" is only several hundred *feet* from the Nature Center, so have fun enjoying the "natural" noise as you take in the views. Big ugly berms now block views to the south from the park road...presumably to prevent stray gunfire from hitting vehicles. Thinking of enjoying some nice peaceful camping? The prevailing winds and sound-amplifying effects of the Hills means you'll be "enjoying" the gunfire from any of the park's designated camping areas. So put on some noise-canceling headphones, maybe with an app that plays some "natural" sounds, and enjoy your visit. Or keep driving and spend your tourist dollars on a place where the interests of a few (but very noisy) "shooters" don't outweigh those of the many.

You know God bless Wyoming and it's people. I mean who else is going to bless them?? I was raised…read morein Wyoming and departed ASAP once I got out of high school. During the years I was there, visited on return trips and complaints from some of my family members sometimes my former Wyomingites just do not seem to know what they are getting themselves into. Countless times I have seen ridiculousness trying to be made by people who don't seem to know what they are doing. This ranges from breweries to golf courses. It was like one of the people being interviewed said in Michael Moore's film Roger & Me, 'You can't bring the beach to Michigan'. This eluded to the fact that someone was trying to build a massive water park with artificial beaches in Michigan back in the 80's which went belly up. Much of these endeavors in Wyoming to bring something from somewhere else also met a similar fate. Of course I realize there are many people who are trying to do something and have no idea what they are doing besides Wyoming but there are just so many of these instances here. This brings me to Table Mountain Vineyards & Winery. I heard that there was a winery in Wyoming in the east but I didn't really seem to pay much attention to this information since I am more obsessed with breweries. My brother brought me some of the Cowboy Reserve that he bought there and brought to me and my partner. The cowboy Reserve was a red wine and was aging since 2007. It didn't sound so bad until we tasted it. It was not one dimensional in taste which was good but it did taste very vinegary which was not ok. From what I understand if wine tastes like vinegar it is simply old. I have had other wine from this year at other places and it tastes fine which leads me to the point that the winery may have no clue to what they are doing. Perhaps I just got a bad batch so to speak. I haven't tried their other wines and I am not too sure if I want to. The wine cost about $13 to $14 which is a lot of cash for the quality of wine I had. Maybe some of their other wines are better but..... To give the winery some credit the wine didn't taste like metal. I had a wine once that did. D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G!!
