Since we have been here, we have continually heard what we thought was a drilling noise, at different intervals, it doesn't last long, but puzzled us because we had moved campsites, had different people camping near us, but still it continued. I thought perhaps some kind of bug so I am frantically looking up bugs that make drilling noise on the web, but the source of those is unknown. Being that the noise follows us everywhere, it had to be coming from our trailer, and we have finally deduced that it is our Kuerig coffee machine which intermittently heats up the water so that stays ready to brew. First mystery solved.
The second was much more complex and strange. When we sit out at night, high up in one of the trees, a mysterious light shines, it pulsates, sometimes red and green but mostly just stays like a surveillance light on. It is too high up to be a reflection of water against the trailer lights, and too low and bright to be a star or planet. Anyone who knows me will know that this has been driving me nuts since the day we moved over here. Today the investigation began in earnest, when sitting out with my morning coffee this object was glowing bright red when the sun shone and disappeared when cloudy. Mike finally got out his good camera with a telescopic lens and captured the alien critter on camera. Turns out it's probably someone's idea of a good joke, as it is some sort of beacon light encased in plastic, that is probably solar powered. It has been thrown up in the trees with a red translucent ribbon attached to it, which is what I saw this morning as the sun hit it. It lights up at night because it has had the day to charge up. Mystery number two solved. Now at night , instead of being scared of both bears and aliens, I can limit my fear to one source!!!
