Grace Cole Nature Park — Attraction in Lake Forest Park

I crossed paths with a couple deers when I got to an area where it says to keep out, I wanted to get a little closer to take a photo of the deers but i didn’t want to get in trouble, I also heard something walk on top of the hill of that area and it wasn’t a deer, it was walking like a person but i couldn’t see what it was I only saw the humanly...
