forest.

A local pastor took John, Jonathan, and I to a forest several hours south of our city for a couple days of adventure.  We slept in tents next to a sprawling forest home to all kinds of wildlife.

It is a dangerous place.  Many villagers shared their stories of encounters with elephants or leopards.  But it is also a place of spectacular beauty.  Over three days we saw all kinds of exotic birds, peacocks, spotted deer, barking deer, mouse deer, sambar deer, lungar monkeys, wild pig, mongoose, cobra skin, black bears, elephants, and tigers.  I’ll never forget it.
