May 23 - Three strikes, we're out?

Kay being coy

Why is it we continue to have these little "brushes with the law?"  Tonight we were at the Towpath Avenue trailhead, trying to glimpse some nocturnal animals.  We weren't having any luck, and Kay's BRAND NEW tripod broke.  Suddenly we saw headlights.  I yelled to Kay to come back to the car.  It was a park ranger, telling us he was closing the gates, and we'd have to move our car.  He said we could come back in and take photos if we wanted.  We decided to leave and try the Lake Street trailhead.  We realized that we weren't getting anywhere, so decided to stop a couple more places and then head home.
