Having the trail across the highway is so awesome for us!  Yesterday  we went for a walk over to the creek and the floor of the forest is absolutely covered in tracks.  I was amazed and had to take photos to share… The entire forest looks like this over there, tracks of all sizes.  

   
 

About half way to the creek the little tracks fade out and you get into larger tracks like this cat track…
  

We were surprised that early afternoon we were already in the shadow of the mountain.  Barry had to try out his new boots that are good to -60!!  
  

We could see where larger animals, moose or deer had been traveling along the creek.  Snowshoeing over there is going to be awesome!  We need another good dump of snow before boots alone don’t cut it.   Right now we are in a cold snap.  We went for a late night walk last night with the full moon lighting up the snow so much we didn’t have to use a flash light!  Cold but clear and crisp and beautiful.  We woke up to -16.  Stay tuned…
