As we’ve been skiing and snowshoeing these last few weeks, we’ve been able to see solid evidence of deer: deer tracks! We’ve seen enough deer year round and plenty of droppings and certainly heard the gunshots in November, but tracks in the snow show us how close the deer have come, how many there are, and some of their trails.
As the snow gets deeper, it turns out the deer like our trails!
Not knowing which way to go, I follow the deer trail.
And after persisting on this trail
I came out into this opening and bedding area.
Our weekend visit to Basin Pond with you was full of pleasures – exploring your land and trails on skis included so much beauty and fun. Breaking trail, crossing brooks, watching the sun on the snow and treetops and sky, braving downhills and reflecting on it all at day’s end on Basin Pond – all wonderful. Leslie and Ray, we thank you for the wilderness adventures! Catherine and Brent
