"You Never Know What You Might See On A Walk In The Park"

HOMESTEAD (CBSMiami) -- A Homestead woman had quite the surprise while walking her dog in Biscayne National Park Thursday morning.

Maria Mitchell found two big bails of marijuana that apparently had washed ashore.

She put the bundles in bags and turned them over to park rangers.

Biscayne National Park even posted about the incident on their Facebook page.

"You never know what you might see on a walk in the park," stated the Facebook post. "Sometimes, it might be a rare butterfly, fish or bird. Maybe it's a manatee and her baby frolicking in the harbor. About an hour ago, one of our park visitors walking her dog found two heavy bales of...something green, leafy and water-soaked! The incident is under investigation, but on this "International Talk Like a Pirate Day," it is interesting to note that some of the "traditional" uses of the park like smuggling are still happening."
