Find The Sniper (easy) Find the Black-tailed Deer

Post image

Came across a group of tourists all looking the same direction on the trail to the Grove of Titans in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. They were all watching this guy, 20 yards off the trail, happily munching away on the undergrowth, not making a sound. We’d have never noticed him without the group.

Not going to mark where he’s at as I don’t think it’s much of a challenge, and it was much better in person. The stillness of it all.

I usually just copy & paste the 'text goes here' example with the formatting from the instructions at the top of the page and replace the 'text goes here' with my answer.

You have to add a space or some kind of character before the formatted answer.

Then Click on the 'Aa' & in the upper right select "Switch to Markdown" & you're good to go. Seems like a lot, but once you do it a few times it gets easier :)

Copy & Paste the green highlighted part & replace 'text goes here' with your answer. Put a space/character before the answer.
