Results from Monday Ekko Tracking - 8/10/09

Pure Gold Pet Trackers led the tracking of Ekko Monday Night.
Preliminary Draft Report from Maureen:
I'm sure Sam will be providing a report of the track, but the Sunday sighting (Bluemont Park) wasn't where we were last night. I don't have the specific streets (Sam will), but we were in the Tuckahoe/Bishop O'Connell School area, then went to Westmoreland, which we followed to N. West and Broad in Falls Church. We turned east on Broad, went a few blocks, and turned back to N. West, at which point we ended the track because it started to rain. Our assumption was he was working his way back over to Arlington and probably the bike path. There is a bike path on N. West near Broad so it's quite possible he got on right there and found his way back over to the Bluemont area where he was sighted on Sunday. I believe Sam thinks he might have spent one (Friday?) night at Tuckahoe and another night (Saturday?) behind some bushes off Broad St in Falls Church. But Sam can confirm all of this.

One thing we learned from the track last night is that although Ekko frequently stays on sidewalks and bike trails, he also likes to take occasional side trips around office and school buildings, problably looking for food.

Just to let you know, I did spend some time putting signs up around Ashlawn Elementary this morning but probably more need to be put up in that area. There are lots of little winding streets. Also if we want to flier or contact the elementary schools that are generally in that area, I would suggest also Arlington Traditional on George Mason and McKinley on Ohio. We also need to put signs up in the Falls Church area where we were last night. My son put some up along the track but eventually ran out.
