On The Run

Panther Creek Park has a Nature Walk through a wetland preserve. Our recent visit followed shortly after a period of flooding in Daviess County. The high water marks were still visible on the trees and came about a foot above the path. From the elevated walkway visitors may observe wildflowers, all types of birds and animal life. It was pretty quiet during our visit, although at one point we heard a noise and turned to see what could have been a large cat scurry into the woods. The feline was larger than a house cat, but smaller than a panther. Given it’s speed, we all decided that it was surely a Kentucky Wildcat. After reaching a main junction, bugs began bothering us, especially Benji. Mommy then decided we should all exit the nature area double time.
