Fishing For Chipmunks.

I recieved an email this morning from my sister Tamie, She invited me to go campng with her and her family at the end of August. They go to a place called Flowers in northern Ca. As much as I would love to go I had to decline because of my Back and Breathing problems. She told me that every time they go the kids "Fish for chipmunks" They tie a peanut to the end of a fishing line(No hook) of course and when the chipmunks take the peanut they reel them in. The Chipmunk hangs on to the peanut till the last second before letting go. They then reward it with a peanut or two, sounds hilarious and does not harm the animal. They also hike to a large waterfall where they can dive into the water. I would really love to go but it will probably be in the triple digits during the day and with emphysema I would not be very comfortable and my back problem would prevent me from hiking up to the waterfall so I would have to stay in camp and that would be a drag. Maybe some other time when the weather is cooler.

What fun! Fishing for chipmunks. I noticed there were quite a few YouTube videos about it. Kept me amused for a long time.
