Walk in the Woods: I took a walk in the woods from 4:00-5:30 this afternoon. The temp. ranged from 20F - 23F, there was a very slight breeze, and the sky had a few clouds over to the west. I took the snowmobile trail behind our house to the T, and then turned left to the landing. The trail, down to the first creek, is littered with lots of limbs and debris from the logging that is occurring behind our neighborhood houses, and the forest is an absolute mess. I did as much trail clean-up as I could so that it is walkable. The snow is packed down on the trail and is perfect for walking. I had to move off the trail in only a few places where there were patches of ice.
I have never seen so many tracks on the trail, and I think this is due to the fact that there is too little snow for snowmobiles to run over it. There were tracks of squirrel, deer, cottontail, snowshoe hare, mouse, and either fox or cat.
