and I get to this roughly circular patch of grass in the forest
and standing about ten feet from me
are four deer
just standing and staring at me
so at this point I have no clue what to do
so I slowly approach the deer
and they start walking back and around the edge of the circle
I ended up circling with the deer for a bit
some cardinals flew straight through the area a bit into the circling
and I eventually end up in a position
where the deer are standing in an arc on the side of the circle where the entrance is
and I'm on the complete opposite side
away from the exit
away from getting to my car
that was the worst moment
luckily we kept circling
and eventually I get back near the exit and decide "this is going nowhere, I'm leaving"
so I start up the trail
and this big doe follows me up the trail a ways
and just stares at me
so here I am squatting halfway up the trail, locking eyes with a doe staring at me from the entrance to the grassy patch
and eventually I get the feeling
they don't want me leaving yet
so I come back and do some more circling
a whole buncha crows fly around at some point, I could barely see them but I could hear them all around
a woodpecker showed up on a tree I was actively standing under
and if you know woodpeckers, they're skittish little things
that kind of thing doesn't happen, they don't get that close, ever
eventually the deer just walked into the woods and left me standing there
the big doe still stood there, just outside the circle in the woods
still staring at me
so I walked back up the trail to my car
and I'm just about to get into my car when there's a rustling behind me
from a different random forest path I hadn't noticed before
so I go down THAT trail
I didn't see any animals
but I ended up at this little patch of raised ground with tree branches hanging heavy overhead
and there was a whole bunch of stonework
well, "whole bunch" is an exaggeration
there was this stone brick lump sticking out of the ground, looked like the top of a fence or something
