Skip the question. It's just a way of introducing my tale of the Wood Rat's nests. When I was out exploring the mountains, I sometimes came upon the glorious sight of a Wood Rat's nest. The nests were huge. Many were four or five feet tall and three or four feet wide. They were made of all sorts of sticks and leaves and seemed quite mysterious to my young mind. My friends and I sometimes dug the whole thing down, excitedly looking for its inhabitants. Much to our disappointment we never found a thing. I guess the rats had an escape route and were long gone once we had set to leveling its home. Poor rat. One thing for sure there exists nothing like a giant nest to excite the imagination of kids who live here in the city of Santa Rosa, California. In a way it is unfortunate. The discovery of a giant nest might keep some of them out of trouble.
