Location: Bones has moved about 325 feet west of his previous location and is deep in the middle of a Rhododendron thicket surrounded by several rotting logs. He was half buried head first in the leaf litter at the base of a Rhododendron. It is possible that he is in the area of the rotting logs foraging for juicy worms, insects, funji, snails and slugs or he may be headed for a small spring that is about 50 feet west of his location--or both--we will just have to wait and see.
Check out the Shaggy Mane mushrooms that were growing in Bones' habtat--beautiful (and tasty)!
