Nobody got eaten by a Mountain Lion on the night hike tonight. Perhaps this is because we lit a candle at the Jabba rock.
Jabba rock is a large, sedimentary rock that has been weathered away to look sort of like Jabba the Hut. Or like Elvis, depending on your point of view. I lit a candle in the mouth and one of the eyes, making it look a bit like a Jack-O-Lantern. It made the atmosphere in the twilight woods even more mysterious than it usually is. The possibility of a large predator lurking somewhere nearby added even more spice to the hike.

At home, the kids are getting feverish again. Nate has an ear infection. Here we go again...
