A group of Zapponians had a run in with a furry little creature this weekend while exploring the mountains of California....a small woodland creature referred to as a.....squirrel? We don't have those in Indiana, I don't believe. Our very own Help-Desk Extraordinaire Renna C. caught it on video and wrote a recollection of the events as they unfolded, along with her frightening trip on the "Tram-O-Death". Take it, Renna!
"It was just around noon on Saturday the 2nd. A group of Zappos employees were making their way to hike San Jacinto. In order to get to the trail head... climbers must take the Palm Springs Tram up the mountain to 8,516ft in elevation. Now, for those who are afraid of heights... this tram should be known as Tram-o-Death. Really! Just ask Vanessa L. just how "wonderful" this ride is. Well, after being traumatized on the tram-o-death for 15 minutes... us volunteers stopped to eat at the restaurant within the tram station. All of a sudden, in walks the chubbiest squirrel I have ever seen! He obviously had been inside the restaurant before, so we made the decision to lure the newly named "Meryl" to our table with bread and potato wedges. Vanessa L. took an instant liking to Meryl, as you can see in the video. He was definitely the highlight of our time on the mountain!"
Behold, the power of the Squirrel.
Thanks Renna! Watch out for the woodland creatures, they are everywhere!
