This evening I was walking on the trail and I saw something moving straight down the trail towards me. It was dusky and I couldn't tell what it was at first, but then it turned and I could see its otter silhouette clearly! Then it ran off. It was very cool. I've seen an otter in nearly this exact same spot before. As far as I know it's not right near any water.

Detail any of your own otter encounters in this thread!
