Probably Not

Percy and his crew will probably never get Farview declared a national wonder like Carlsbad Caverns, but it won't be for lack of trying.  "Giant excavations created totally by squirrel power!"  And how do I know the gang is still active?  Because current holes are getting bigger and new holes appear.  This one started out just big enough for a squirrel to squeeze through from the play yard into the milking room.  Ta da!  They must be so proud.  The broomstick hides the secret entrance to an underground tunnel leading who knows where.

This rather elaborate creation began as a mouse run from Tessie's room.  One of the crew obviously has artistic ambitions.
 This last big one (oh, there are others!) is a more utilitarian escape hatch not only dug out, but the wall has been chewed through to the big room.  Is it any wonder that I think someday the entire hilltop will sink three feet?  Probably not.  Will the furry workers ever quit their incessant digging?  Probably not.
