The Jeep Journals

I left my corporate job on 7/21/17 in order to help showcase Nature for Mother Nature fans online. I did not arrive easily at this decision since my corporate job paid extremely well and included amazing benefits. Alas, the one benefit I was not easily allowed was the time to immediately pursue any and all wild events happening any and all moments of every day throughout the world. I know it would have helped me greatly to see more Nature during the work week, so that is what I’ve set out to bring to you. Stay tuned!

Outsider Tips - Big Bend

Happy Wild Wednesday!
Way back when I was in Big Bend National Park. A ranger named Rob told me about this area called "Sewage Lagoon" which is essentially the paved drive down to the old sewage treatment facilities located just downhill from the campgrounds.

One morning during this same trip I had a gut feeling so I walked out towards this odoriferous area, but I turned just short of the treatment facility to crest a small hill. I had a feeling something was on the other side. Sure enough just over the hill I heard some noise...

I heard rustling in the brush in a small dip between me and the next hill... It sounded large!!! I only had to wait a few more moments before these ears popped up above the brush line. Sure enough, black fuzzy ears!!! A bear!!!

Happy Wild Wednesday!!!

On the other side
Of whatever hills block you
Is what you might seek

Relax!!!
