Today As we were Heading up the Missouri we spotted what looked to be small animals almost like squirrels poking their heads out of holes dug into the ground. The entire Corps were fascinated by the behaviour of these animals and we immediately decided to try and capture one. But as we soon found out capturing them were no easy feat. Everyone in the corps started dumping water into the holes trying to Flush out the squirrel like things. After digging down about six feet we found that running a pole down that we had not dug even half way to the bottom. after almost 3 hours we finally flushed one out alive and caught it and put it into a cage to send back to President Jefferson. To the left is a picture of what we call Barking Squirrels.

ReplyDeleteClay, first my compliments on your sense of design. Your journals are a pleasure to behold. I also like the music that makes if even easier and enjoyable to read your discoveries. Your combination of pictures and well-written descriptions is nicely done. I especially like your shot from the White Cliffs (a little ahead of us on the river, but a great shot.) East to read, full of information and full of you. Keep up the fine work. Two suggestions for the upcoming week:
ReplyDelete1. Put the date from 1805 at the very top of your entries.
2. Be careful and considerate (even with your buds) as you make comments on their blogs.
