They were on the far side of White Lake and I tried for a photo but didn't have a good enough lens. <BR/><BR/>I don't really know anything about Grulla NWR. We just drove past it on the way to Muleshoe. <BR/><BR/>Take care and stay warm!<BR/><BR/>~clairzclairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-58234925727250401892007-12-22T09:49:00.000-07:002007-12-22T09:49:00.000-07:00Clairz,I attempted camping last fall. I will admit...Clairz,<BR/><BR/>I attempted camping last fall. I will admit, however, that upon sunset I became a bit afraid as I was alone, so I broke camp with the light of my car headlamps and drove home. The only problem with camping during the winter at the refuge, I believe, is the permanent fire ban, so you should have a very good bed roll if you are tent camping.<BR/><BR/>I was at the refuge just yesterday, and still had no luck at siting the sandhill crane. In fact, I did not see any geese either. Did you see them during your visit in November?<BR/><BR/>I noticed your link to the Grulla Wildlife Refuge; can you tell me about it and if it compares at all to Muleshoe's refuge?

I would love to see it with the sand hill cranes at their peak.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for reading my blog!<BR/><BR/>~clairzclairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-81936601621331454492007-12-22T01:54:00.000-07:002007-12-22T01:54:00.000-07:00Thank you for speaking so kindly about the Mulesho...Thank you for speaking so kindly about the Muleshoe Wildlife Refuge. You are correct, if you camp, you will be alone because so few people truly comprehend the majesty of nature this refuge provides. My fiance and I visit the refuge when we need to connect with ourselves as individuals and as a couple. There is just something in the atmosphere that allows for a deeper understanding of life.Adrienne Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262157820217185168noreply@blogger.com
