Location: The Star Trees
1040-1100 hours
Weather: Rainy
I take shelter from the rain beneath the Star trees, which surprisingly keep off the rain very well. The patches underneath each tree are still bone dry. Also, underneath these trees are virtually the only place on campus where there are no fallen leaves in sight. However, there are always dead needles carpeting the area immediately underneath the trees. These needles act as a way to keep the dirt and mud out, keeping the area underneath these trees one of the least muddy on campus, making it an ideal area for small animals such as squirrels to move and search for food without getting cold, wet and dirty.
