44°

Yeah, that's right... 44°. That felt like a real heat wave today so I went out to enjoy it a little. I parked at the depot parking lot and walked from there. I must say that it was truely the nicest day we have had in quite a while. I saw one person at the beginning of my walk and he was going back the other way and I never ran into anyone else the rest of the time I was there.

The snow is pretty deep in places up on the Bizz, and I'm sure it gets deeper the higher up you go. This year would have been a great time for me to get into cross country skiing. This first picture is looking back from the first trestle to the Hobo Camp area. You can see the trail that goes to Hobo Camp on the right.





I have taken many pictures in the last few years from this vantage point. It always strikes me as a picturesque scene. Must just be me, huh? Oh well, I don't care, at least I like it.

I did find a fair number of critter tracks, mostly birds but this one looked like something with toes and claws. I thought at first maybe raccoon but I think it might have just been a squirrel. Half the fun of walking up here in the snow for me is trying to decipher the tracks you find.

So 44° today and maybe warmer in the next few days... won't be long till my absolutely favorite season, spring.
