The Plat-Billed Duckypus

George "Geo" Tseko is owner of cabin #29 in the Main Canyon. On one of his recent hikes he spotted a strange creature walking through the forest. I guess that makes two strange creatures walking through the forest, but that's beside the point. I can't testify to his state of mind, but he swears that he saw a duck-like animal with three feet and a crazy hair-do. As far as I know, this is the first reported sighting of such a beast.

As a graduation present for Deb Burgess, Geo described this creature to an artist, and had it immortalized in ceramic. The model now adorns a patio table on the Pack Station deck. To honor the man who made the discovery we have named him "Curious George"; and he has officially been classified as a "Plat-Billed Duckypus". Click on his photo for a better look.
