On Sunday, we thought it would be a great day for end-of-winter romp at Lake Stn Kathryn. We packed up skis, snow shoes, and ice trekkers so we'd be ready for any condition.
 |
| Oh it's good to be back at one of our favorite places! |
 |
| It was plowed right to the boat launch. |
 |
| It froze over night and stayed below freezing all day. |
 |
| We headed around the trail going clockwise. |
 |
| Oh we love to gaze over Deer Marsh. |
 |
| We spied some pod tracks on the 2-track. |
 |
| It was pretty good going, since the snow was still quite firm. |
 |
| We had to make sure the viewing platform was still there. |
 |
| OK let's get back on the trail. |
 |
| Down the hill and across the board walk we go! |
 |
| Most of the swamp is still snowed over. |
 |
| But the creek is still flowing! Culvert remains clear. |
 |
| Sure looking like spring. Wally watered the plants just to be sure. |
 |
| We stopped for lunch at the north end shelter. |
 |
| Guess we'll clear off this down tree later this spring. |
 |
| Down where the trail is adjacent to Martin Lake Rd., we were surprised to find rather fresh beaver cuts and drags. |
 |
| Must have run low on food this winter? |
 |
| Red squirrels have been munching on their winter stores. |
 |
| This board walk was mostly clear, since it's sun exposed all day. |
 |
| We were surprised to find no old ski or snow shoe tracks. |
 |
| Towards the end of the hike the crust was getting a little softer. |
 |
| Soon, those with small paws were sinking in. |
 |
| We had such a grand outing today! |
 |
| And at home, somebody got the rest of her springtime haircut. Gotta be ready for mud season! She did get out for a romp on Friday evening on the trails but we didn't get any photos of that. |
