Things did not play out well in East Bridgewater, either. Temps in the
low 40s, ground was damp but no precipitation was falling. Water in
this particular pool was very low, but because of the thinck growth of
saplings around it and no path way cleared, I did not want to walk in in
the dark. Nothing moving, no Wood Frogs calling but Spring Peepers were
calling and TOADS were trilling. We could not stay too long because my
son thought he saw Bigfoot off in the shadows at the edge of his
flashlight beam...
