I was driving up the I5 and lookie what I found...

I know I know I haven't been posting, but this DU is so slow, I was going to wait until I got to a faster connection before taking pics of all my stash enhancements, a couple FO's and some general vacation pics and spread that out over a short period of posts.

But this was worth waiting for the DU connection to post.

I was driving up I5 today, about 45 minutes North of where I'm staying, half way to the Canadian boarder, well ok maybe 3/4ths the way. Anyway, I'm driving and look over, and what did I see on the side of the freeway:


Misty Ridge Alpaca Ranch to be exact.
A little blurb about Alpacas posted in front of these littles guys.

They must have thought I had food because they came right up to me, the little beggars.

This guy is in another paddock, he saw me coming from a bit aways because he was waiting when I got there.

This one was a little slower, must be all that fur slowing him down, but none of the others came up to say hi.

They have quite a few Alpaca and I wasn't even out looking for Alpaca, but I know where to find them now if you're ever up this way. I'm sure I'll be visiting them a few times once we're moved up there. The farm even sells their own fiber, both raw and in yarn form, of course I had to buy some, but you'll see that later when I post vacation yarn porn.

Ooh, that's awesome! We were just wondering about you today at SnB. Glad you're having tons of fun. Did you adopt an alpaca?

Hey, I can almost hear your car come screeching to a stop at the sight of the alpacas. They are sure cute! We miss you, and the weather isn't near as hot as it was since we last saw you. Bring on the pictures of your new yarn finds-- love to see them.

Adorables! Went to the website and spent an hour or so drooling over the beasties. Hmmm... wonder what the regs are about keeping an alpaca in Temple City... Oh yeah. There's a house in CT that has 5 acres, a paddock and barn... wonder how much work alpacas really are??
