Chipmunk Hitchhikes To California
<snip>

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- A wayward chipmunk stowed away in a car in Utah and hitched a long ride west to California.

The chipmunk hadn't a clue it was bound for the Golden State when it hopped into Dixie Goldsby's Honda while she was camping in southeastern Utah. And Goldsby didn't realize she had a passenger.

On the drive home, Goldsby began to suspect that a chipmunk might have come along for the ride. She noticed a chocolate bar she had left in the car had been nibbled.

Goldsby discovered the furry passenger when she returned home.

On the advice of a pet store operator, Goldsby made a trap out of a shoe box with peanut butter as bait.

4. The chipmunk hadn't a clue it was bound for the Golden State ?
Now, how do we know that? Dixie may have been a hottie, maybe the Chipmunk knew exactly what it was doing and is now well cared for by a hot animal loving gal, kicking in Cali, eating peanut butter instead of foraging...
