Yesterday I had a superb Valentine’s Day outing with a great group of women. We did the Long Swing Trail into Crane Pond, Glidden Marsh and Oxshoe Pond. The woods were absolutely teeming with little treasures. On the way back a few of us listed over 40 species of plants and animals we had either seen or seen sign of–Sweet!
Trail conditions were not so sweet. Traction is absolutely necessary. Trails aside, backcountry ice skating is perfect right now.
