If You Go Down to The Woods Today...

Writing on Sunday August 30...

No bears so far. No mountain lions either. Deep Thought and Little Starlet found a frog in the water fountain this afternoon. We haven’t seen much else in the way of wildlife. There are hardly any birds: perhaps there isn’t any food. The Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels are here in abundance, as they were at Crater Lake. The kids were thrilled to see them, though I dampened their enthusiasm by reading them the sign saying the local critters are probably carriers of the plague.
