The Blue Trail off of Pumpkin Ground Road was well-worn by snowshoes this morning. Boots with spikes might work pretty well, but I had my light snowshoes on.
This old bridge has recently been replaced by the one I'm standing on. Good thing, I guess. The swampy area just across the bridge has turned into a deer yard, with tracks all over. In deep snow, deer will congregate in sheltered areas with food and cover.
Lots of animal sign out there. Here are some droppings next to a tunnel.
The deer pawed away the snow and oak leaves looking for acorns...
...and were successfull. Here are some bits of acorn shell up on the snow.I turned on the red trail, which was not as packed as the blue trail. In fact, it was mostly deer tracks. Definitely needs the snowshoes there.
That's a whole lot of mouse tracks!
I turned off the Red Trail onto this deer trail in an effort to find a geocache.
Oh hey, there it is!
