Dry Creek Trail - Lots of Squirrels!

Rode the Dry Creek Trail with Benny. There were so many squirrels out! Benny almost ran over one, and in order to avoid hitting the poor thing, Ben crashed his bike!

Benny rode the entire trail, 4.5 miles each way. I pooped out about half way, or less. Needed to find a shady spot to sit down and rest. All the best shady rest areas were already taken, so I had to ride back towards the start of the trail. Finally found a bench to sit on and rest.

Benny pointed out to me a bunch of squirrels playing around in the trees. They were jumping around from one branch to another! I've never seen anything like that before ...

I took lots of pictures of the squirrels. Was able to get pretty close to some of them. Some squirrels were standing perfectly still ike a statue. Others were dragging their bellies on the ground. One was so occupied with finding nuts, that they didn't seem to be too worried about my presence.

Talked with some friendly people when we got back to the trail start. One lady had a cockateel in a cage that didn't make a sound! Her two boys were having a blast riding their skateboard down a short hill (both boys on the same board!).
