The &#8220;historic train station&#8221; turned out to be just a run down old train station with nothing of interest for a visitor. Today, it&#8217;s just another Amtrak stop. The Bull Creek Wildlife Management Area sounded better with an &#8220;interpretive loop&#8221; 8.6 mile driving tour. There were 3-4 spots that looked like this, and the rest was just a road through the low level brush. I saw 3 deer and two different kinds of birds and not much else. The brochure for the self-guiding tour was a simple map with all the hunting and camping regulations. No explanation of the area or why it&#8217;s a wildlife management area. It seemed to be more about the hunting. Oh yeah, I did see one other van driving slowly with the side door open. I didn&#8217;t get a close look, but I&#8217;d bet there was some fire power pointing out that door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bull Creek Wildlife Management Area Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo.
