First
winter visit to the property by snowmobile.
(You can't
see the dense brush that is hidden under the snow.) |
Boardwalk
across Deep Creek, on Main Trail
(One of
Several Boardwalks on the main trail) |
One of the Mud holes on
the main trail.
(Prior
to 2004 trail improvements.) |

Much of this
section of trail was wet and muddy prior to the improvements. |

hiding up a tree on the property. (Just one of the
critters I have to share the property with.) |
Bear Print

The insulation was
in the pile of stuff that is seen in the photo to the right. |
