Nature Calls
(Close encounters with Mother Nature)

Drew -- Bridgeport, CT (5/10/2007)
Awhile back we were playing Racoon Run and had quite possibly the craziest encounter with two squirrels. As we were driving off to the ninth tee from the eigth green we realized that there were 2 -3 squirrels following our carts.In amazement we asked each other if maybe other golfers fed these guys because they were not just following us but running along side of the cart almost to the point where you could have reached out and picked one up.Anyway as got to the 9th tee and disembarked the carts one of the squirrels ran into one of the guys legs and pretty much scarred the crap out of him as he was getting out.Well as we were standing around on the tee one of the squirrels started standing on his back legs kinda of likwe the meerkats due and looking at us like please feed me.Feeling guilty on the guys was going to go back to the cart and get a couple of cheese crackers to feed the little guys when he ralized the other 2 squirels were already in the cart and were taking the whole package of crackers and a peanut butter cup one of the other guys left in the cart.When we all turned to look and see the third little guy took off.It was the greatest slight of hand I'd ever seen,not real dangerous but funny as hell.
