My hanging out down at the river Saturday evening didn’t show me a reason for that flashlight and lit tobacco I saw. I went down to the shed at 8:45-ish and sat beside compadre’s car and waited, but all I heard were leftover fireworks-that rousted a flock of wild turkeys that ran along the trail gobbling and carrying on into the woods.
As soon as it started to really get dark, a young couple on an ATV came down the trail, parked, put a blanket on the grass and opened cans of beer. I sat there for awhile, listening to them laughing and talking, but no one appeared at the rock seats-that couple were the only people around, so after awhile I left, not turning on my flashlight or making any noise-I didn’t want them to think I was eavesdropping. Maybe I’ll try again another night when there is not likely anyone in the woods or on the trail-I want to know who/what was sitting down there.
a spook likely would have been deterred by their presence?
I saw a couple of turkey hens with their chicks in the common area this morning.
