I stumbled across a mention in one of those things to do magazines while staying at a local hotel…read more At first I thought it odd that I needed to book a tour. Was this on someone's property and they wanted to be awake? Set the day and time and headed out there. At some point if you forget you are in texas and everything is a drive and roads may appear to lead to nowhere, don't panic. You will get there and see why. Everyone there is warm and friendly and obviously pationate about where they work and what they do. They are more than willing to answer all your questions and educate you as well. The tour is important and it takes around an hour. They don't take government money which enables them to do what they do with the animals best interest at heart at all times. These animals are well cared for and the staff are really dedicated to them. I suggest at least a donation of $10 per person to help them out. That is a deal for a tour. They also have a souvenir shop that you may want to shop in as well. This place is for anyone that likes animals, seems like a good place for ag students to visit, seniors, families, or anyone literally capable of riding in a cart and following behavior expectations such as not playing in the waste or pulling the tails or smacking the donkeys. Wear appropriate shoes so you can get close.

What can i say about this magnificent example of Christian commitment towards helping those more in…read moreneed? Mark Hewitt has made it his pluriennal mission in life to gain both trust and respect of the homeless in the Abilene/Midland area. His Ministries have started with a crazy idea of helping the homeless with free food/clothing/health care/job hunting/moral and spiritual support. And it is now one of the most flourishing ministries in the area. Completely run on a voluntary basis, it offers 1 comforting and flavourful meal per day to those in need. It allows 15 minutes per week into their free thrift store, filled to capacity with great clothes and shoes for all shapes/sizes/ages and sex. It allows those who are not covered by a health insurance to access prime care for free, be it a dental need, a routine Dr. appointment, a mammography, an optometrist check-up... All funded by the good heart of the common citizen and his/her need to do as the Lord say "help those in need, for they shall help you gain the greatest richness upon earth". I only wish there were more ministries as loving and caring as this and less elitarian ones across the globe.

I took a morning walk here with my friend and her two dogs…read more It looks small but there were a decent amount of trails from which to choose. The trail is so west TX with mesquite trees and dry dirt everywhere. We saw a cute quail flying by and then scurrying across the trail. The dogs loved it and there's also a dog park for them across the street. The nature center is also next to a golf course. It was a great start to our day and beautiful watching the sun rise.
