They had been playing in the gold fish fountain in the front yard and cooling off after coming across the mountain.



They left their tracks out of the pond to the steps to the deck



They left their calling card here.

I went out and walked the fence and found where they had come in down below where I have peach, plumb and persimmon trees. But there is no fruit left on them, which is good because bears will break down the trees and ruin them. Ask me how I know. I've been here on the mountain for 28 years and they do it about every other year.
