    Decided it was a good day to go check out a seldom used side trail I've always been curious about...

    [​IMG]

    Brought my second favorite hiking buddy along with me:

    Arrowleaf balsamroot is exploding right now:

    Eventually left the main drainage and headed up a little side creek:

    The north-facing draw became tighter and tighter, the snow was getting deeper and deeper, so I decided to turn around and save the rest of it for another day:

    Bear track. Prolly a week old or so:

    Had to usher this little guy after the road on the way out:

    All in all, time well spent. ;)

    Whatever the max points @Strigidae awarded, double it. Sigs, garter snake, cool LBE gear and dog. What’s not to love? Scales on the Bradfords have never done it for me but make a good pic.

    It was a hot and humid day in the dirty south but had a great time hiking with the family. We put the turtle off the trail since we found him in the middle of it and there were Mtn bikers out.

    Forgot your obligatory knife shot

    Got the kids out for another nature walk today, we have been having some beautiful weather for spring.

    Lots of insects around today, we saw tiny little dragonflies and got rained by caterpillars. There were also a lot of spiders and ants as usual I'm sure @Stone could identify them.
