Evening prominade

Judy KNEW this was gonna happen so she came prepared. Wearing one of those elasticized lights that goes around your head and sits on your forehead like a 3rd eye and toting a large railroad type lantern in one hand and the biggest cop flashlight she could carry in the other. "I'm ready" she said reluctantly. We all 3 turned and looked at her and busted out laughing! "What?" she said which made us laugh even harder! You don't have to go Kim told her but Judy decided there was safety in numbers so off we went. We headed around the back of the cabin where there is a path that goes through the woods and leads to other trails and if you take the right one the path will loop back around to the cabin. We decided that the loop path was the one for us tonight since it was shorter and we had all had quite a day getting settled in. Doris led us down the path and we kept Judy in the middle for her comfort zone. Kim and I were just chatting away when we heard SHHHHHHH from the front of the pack and Doris and Judy had come to a halt. We stopped and listened but heard nothing but crickets and frogs. What did you hear Kim whispered? Not sure but I heard something rustling along the right side of us said Doris. Doris, Kim and I turned our small little flashlights in that general direction and Judy had her3rd eye light on but we saw nothing. Judy said wait a minute and she cranked up her lantern and big ol flashlight and there we saw a family of skunks making their way through the woods, a momma and 2 babies. Uh huh make fun of my lights will ya! Judy said. We quickly shut off Judy's beacons and swiftly made our way on down the path. Not much happening on this path tonight so we headed on back to the cabin. Tomorrow we hope to make it down to the lake and maybe see the loons. No not us, the birds lol
