SPRING is in the air!
This week when I went to my spot, it was definitely an adventure. I decided to brave the weather and ride my bike down to Oak Ledge. I overestimated the snowmelt - the path was completely covered and I ended up walking my bike there and back! I entered a different way and found a few more chimneys that I didn't know existed. I also found a staircase and the foundation of a house! When I finally got to my spot, it looked completely different!! First of all, someone had visited and built a fire pit right in the middle of my spot. They also decided to leave their empty beer bottles everywhere! That put a little damper on things. After getting over that, I noticed a lot of other changes. The warm weather melted a lot of the snow and the lake itself was not frozen over anymore. The rock underneath is also now visible! I tried really hard to find animals or even tracks, but I didn't find any really. I saw some dog paw prints but thats about it. I saw a few birds, mostly ducks, crows, and ring-billed seagulls. Hopefully I'll have better luck in the future!

These pictures are so awesome to view, especially being able to compare them to earlier ones! It's also pretty sweet that you keep discovering human-made parts about your place like the staircase. This is sweeeeeet.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for traveling by bike to your place! And it is amazing how long the snow can linger on paths and trails that have been packed down. Too bad about the bottles, though now you know that others enjoy your place, too.
