 :rofl  I know the one that you are thinking of, but I think the following quote from P.T. Barnum applies to this thread and my boring day at work a little better.   :D ;)

OMG!!!  I totally got to see them!

I didn't have much luck sneaking up in a jeep, so I upped a goon from another sector and climbed to 10k.  Then I shut off my engines and glided to the VBase so I wouldn't scare them with the noise.  After touchdown, I rolled to a stop so the squeaky brakes wouldn't spook 'em, then bailed out and walked to the next grove of trees away.  After standing for about 15 minutes they came out and I saw a flash as one took my picture!  WTG HTC on the extra little details.   :rock

The farther you drive from a base the better your results will be.  I have seen squirrels near the bases but they are VERY skittish. I have found that driving at least 3-4 keypads away from a base helps alot.  I normally can see the squirrels within a couple of minutes when 18-20 miles from a base. Just remember DO NOT CHANGE VIEWS or they will stay hidden.

I have tried screenshots but they never show anything conclusive.  First person is the way to go. I'm making a run out tonight to squirrel watch.
