We lived in Snohomish til I was 5 and then my father fulfilled his dream of buying a ranch.

Sweet, I used to live in Snohomish County and loved hiking in the Cascades this time of year when there’d be snow from around 2500’ and up to see what tracks I’d find, never got boring.

A quick search says there’s 2,000 chimps in captivity in the US in various hands, wouldn’t surprise me if there were a few hundred more ‘off the books’. So up to a half dozen or so getting loose every year seems reasonable to me. And if they’re in a warmer area with plentiful food sources they’re in luck. Here’s a red deer we had roaming our property, no idea where it came from or where it went, has a tag in it’s ear. Despite multiple black bear/mountain lion sightings on the place have never gotten a picture of one. But the passing red deer which is as rare as a hen’s tooth practically poses for the camera, probably still out there somewhere.
