Into the canal, part 1:  Something he's never done before- go down the canal to get a drink...

Part 2:  Bound and determined there is something to sniff down there- or was

Later, across the bridge and over to the big wood pile:  No luck.

With the picture above it's time for another "Purdue cannot manage a forest" rant.  Here we see a log that has been laying there for at least four years that this winter "needed to be cut up."  This was an ongoing thing; the University combed the woods, and nearly any fallen object within five feet of the trail was cut to bits.  Too bad they didn't happen along a bear taking a nap.

"Still a little muddy here, pops..."

Back to Purdue:  Bad enough they cut these logs up and leave the debris where it lay... here's the wrapper to a chain saw blade they couldn't be bothered to pick up.

Meanwhile, we move on to Sunday morning...

Breaking the ice for a drink at the duck pond...

"Made it this far without falling on-camera..."

And up ahead, the tree that fell three years ago at the mouth of the ravine trail also gets cut up...

Because, anybody would rather see a bunch of cut-up logs just laying there rather than a fallen tree in its natural state..

 That's me, always willing- but never needed- to make Purdue look retarded.

And, if you squint your eyes, a bunny!
