As I was scouting the area to hide a new cache, I happened upon the squirrel in the photo. The poor guy must have got his back legs and hips squished at some time.
I debated on A: euthanasia , B: take him to Natures Nursery (but what do you do with a squirmming squirrel, put him in the glove box?), or C. leave him be. I looked into his big brown eyes, and saw that he was happy!. He got around by dragging his rear end, but by golly, he seemed like a happy squirrel. I could have easily caught him, but thought 'he seems to be doing fine. Why not let him live his life in the wild and be free?' So, I left him alone, and fed him part of a granola bar and left the rest of it where he could get it. I have stopped back since then, but couldn't find him. All my previous granola treats were gone, but I have no idea if he got them. I left two more bars for him. If you hunt this cache, please be on the look out for him, and maybe bring along some peanuts.
