Our drive through the Sierra from Cazorla to the pardor took us past a huge herds of goats and sheep crossing the road, a large wild deer, some rabbits and a very strange donkey sized dog with a foxes tail attached to his rear??

Cazorla! Bottled Water and Park!
... not to jump up and correct each one of them. Boy oh Boy how I wish I was back on that tower at Camp Seafarer, my wistle would have been blown till my lips fell off. But such is life, it was nice to have a bow back in my hands for a moment.
