Wow.
» I had chills while I walked through Decatur Woods Park and it wasn't from the temp. The park is entirely transformed, I've never seen it like this. In some places it appears that the forest is working to reclaim the cement path, I could not always distinguish between path and earth because of all the downed branches and debris. Some of those branches are mighty big and I saw several huge pieces of broken off tree further in the woods. Much of the path also has a sheen of standing water across it. The seasonal ponds are high. Several other folks were out enjoying the park, a dog bounded in and out of one of those surely cold ponds to retrieve a ball. A young woman and her daughter worked to fly a rainbow kite up in the remaining gusts of wind. Two other dogs were also romping around, all the dogs looked quite happy.

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.  |
