What caused all the mysterious piles of churned up earth? I walk through Decatur Woods Park relatively often, today found new mystery piles all over the park. I assume moles are responsible. There is so much I do not know about moles. Do they hold to any sort of seasonal patterns? How many holes can one mole produce? Do moles have family groupings? Tribes? I can tell I've been reading too many murder mysteries lately, because the more I examined the disturbed earth, the more concerned I got that possibly I was about to see something much more disturbing. Fortunately all is well. Decatur Woods Park (10th and Decatur) is a wonderful park, a paved path loops through the woods, and a playground/picnic area is set up. The park boasts public art also. One public art piece used to mean "X marks the spot", but part of the X has been broken off, unclear what it means now.
I encourage folks to take a stroll through the park and to let us know if they solve The Mystery of Decatur Woods Park.

The mother mole, who was right behind him in the tunnel, said
"I smell pancakes too."
Then the baby mole who was last in line squeaked
"That's funny. I just smell molasses."
