We were out there today, and on arrival noticed an official-looking person talking to a group of people. Saw his backplate said "Federal Officer", so my antennae went up as being out of the ordinary. Then we noticed a Refuge vehicle where it wouldn't normally be.
OK...
Well, we head out for our walk, and in comes a Park Police helo, which proceeds to start doing a circle around both lakes, in various diameters. After the 9th pass, it changes directions and comes in to land in a clearing. I'd been wondering if there might be a missing person on the property, since no instructions were being given to visitors.
We head to the car, the officer meets with the pilot, and I notice additional Park Police cars in the main lot. The same people are standing by their vehicle, one in obvious emotional distress (but being attended to by police and friends). We go to leave, and see 2 people heading into the woods along the access road, calling for "Bob" and blowing a whistle.
Well, that tears it. We're now creeping along in the truck at a walking pace, checking for anything on the ground that looks like a "Bob". We stop hearing the calls, so I just hope they found him OK.
Pretty eerie stuff.
