Rain, wind, and low temperatures last night left the ground covered in a layer of ice. It didn't bother me as I was dry inside my tent and sleeping bag. But when I stepped outside, HORROR!
The first frozen worm I saw didn't leave me too shocked, I'm accustomed to dead worms because I fish.
The next couple of frozen worms started to worry me.
Then I came upon this massacre. Evidently, the rain drove the worms to dry, warm ground (the asphalt), and the freezing temps finished them off.
As the elevation dropped and I moved closer to the lake, temperatures rose and I began to see survivors.
But many were left in a deplorable state. And I soon found out why...
Legions of birds had seized this opportunity for a fast, hearty meal.
Led by their fearless leader, Robin "Fats" Domino.
But the numbers those birds devoured pales in comparison to the number I trampled underfoot...
...on my way to tell you about the massacre.
Like the mustache?
