Unfortunately, all I had for these videos was my cell phone, so the video quality is not the best. Plus for a couple of these video segments, it was either dark or early dawn. On the first encounter, I was on my way out the driveway to take the trash to the street. Just so you understand, my driveway is 110 yards long (length of a football field), and it is a little hilly and curvy. You cannot see the street from the house or the house from the street very easily, and I actually like this feature very much. So, when I round the first curve in my driveway, I never know what I will see a little further out, and same thing when I come in the driveway. I have seen many deer including a newborn, javelina, ground squirrel, several kinds of snakes including a couple rattlesnakes, a couple of Gila Monster, pack rat, rabbits, etc all on or next to my driveway. It is kind of like one of those driving safaris! I am sharing this with you to show you that to see wildlife where I live, all I have to do is look outside, take out the trash, or leave/enter the driveway! It is truly amazing!!!

Very nice, Bart. I Love them. ...Thank You
If i had to take a garbage can/s 110 yards each week, to the curb, i would be using my John Deere Gator 6x4 to haul them.

Where we live they don't have garbage pickup service. I burn what i can. The rest, i have a deal with a friend to put mine in his business dumpster, when i go into town for groceries, every 2 months, or so.

Glad you enjoyed it Hawk J, I love them too! As for the garbage cans, I just consider it part of my "workout". I do not have a Gator or even a golf cart, and I know some day I will need to figure something out to get the cans to the street when I cannot do it any longer. It sounds like you have a pretty good deal worked out to handle your garbage. You must be quite rural!!!

Yes, we live a ways out in the boonies on the side of a forested mountain
with a creek & a bass pond, next to BLM forest. We truly love it here. We are thankful.

If I am remembering correctly, you live in Oregon near Crater Lake? If I am thinking of someone else, my apologies!!!
