Brrr it's cold
We went for a fun drive today up to Taylor Reservoir. Hardly any cars out and we watched the temperature drop to -14 by the time we got all the way to the reservoir! And there were a couple people fishing (as in standing in the river - brrr)on the way and a few ice fishing on the reservoir. There were snowmobiling tracks on the ice too. The snowy photo on top really is the reservoir. Can you believe it?! Mark doesn't think he wants to participate in these activities at this time. Can't say I blame him...
The photo with what looks like a baby pine tree has something else in it as well. Don't know if you can see it, but I caught a weasel next to it. They turn white in the winter - definitely great camouflage. We also saw a bald eagle soaring up and down the canyon. I tried, but couldn't get the photo.
Did more snowshoeing today and it was easier than last time. Some of our tracks still remained, which is a lot less effort than the trailblazing part, and coyote or fox tracks appeared in them as well. I guess they decided it was easier to walk in too. We see so many tracks and so few animals. Good at hiding... I think we'd have to stage a middle of the night raid to catch them.
