The property was originally owned by a survivalist. When he realized the world was not coming to an end, he sort of turned the property into a refuge for the endangered red backed squirrel monkey.
They built a feeder from bamboo poles and wood on the property and cultivated quadrano(orinoco) bananas. They would hang green bananas from the poles and as they ripened monkeys and others would come to feed.
First there was one Acari:
He ate heartily:
When he did not keel over and die, 2 more came in for lunch:
When they left, the monkeys came in:
and they ate until full....and then rested!
We really had a great time! Even though we love our home in South Carolina, we have a new place to call home 1,600 miles south.
