July 2010 Amanda Blake Wildlife Refuge Tour

In July 2010 The Argonaut A's met for lunch and toured Amanda Blake's memorial museum and wildlife refuge at Rancho Seco. It provides a sanctuary for animals who were rescued from canned hunting ranches or victims of the captive wildlife industry. The museum set in a small log cabin that replicates the Gunsmoke era, presents memorabilia from Amanda's life and historical photographs from her journeys to Africa. She lived her last two years at PAWS (Performing Animal Welfare Society) and had a lifelong commitment to the conservation of wild places, this sanctuary was dedicated by PAWS in her name.
