Poison Creek

Thunderstorms were predicted for the day and, in fact, did start up in the afternoon. Knowing that I decided to get a bike ride in early up in the Poison Creek area. I like the Poison Creek loop since it's a short one and the best part is it isn't all burned up. It was burned up years ago. Back in the early 80's there was a fire that pretty much screwed up this country but it's grown back and the plantations are starting to get big enough to block the view. You can see one of the plantations in this picture. Anyway, my tracks looked like the first of the year and there were still some snow drifts blocking regular vehicle traffic. Didn't see any wildlife but I did find more bear tracks. Seems like the bear populations must be doing pretty good judging by the many tracks I have encountered so far this year. Biking in the woods... ya gotta love that!!
