We stayed in a cabin at a KOA campground near Lake Placid. Saturday we walked through High Falls Gorge and then spent a couple of hours at the WILD Center. I was lured there by the promise of otters, one of my favorite animals to watch. They were entertaining as always, but the surprise star of the trip was this creature:
They brought her out so she could eat her lunch in front of an audience. Did you know that porcupines eat corn on the cob the way people do? She held it in her hands, ate across one row, turned the cob, ate across one row, and so forth. Her method of rifling through the contents of her bowl looking for something tasty also looked very human.
Sunday morning we went hiking at Ausable Chasm. LW still has a way to go before he's a great hiker, but we are hoping to give him more practice once we are not living at the inn.
