Anyone else seeing earthworms coming out & dying? I'm camping in a State Park & there are literally thousands of earthworms that have come out & died from drying out. This morning even more came out & I tried to save some that were still alive & put back into the dirt. They are coming out & drying up in the sun.

I've never seen anything like it & neither has the park ranger. I'm not trying to slide, but just wondered what would cause this or if something could be wrong with the earth that is causing them to expose themselves.
