Exploring the “Back Forty”……

With all the new snow and colder temps it was time to strap on the snowshoes and check out some of the trails behind the lodge.

It’s interesting how the dogs can find the old trail that is almost snowed over…..much easier for them with their short legs. These first two pictures are from some of the many granite ridges that are great for snowshoeing on. I’ve put a red star on the satellite image to show where I was.

These last two shots are from a large swamp (yellow star) that I’ve not been in before. I didn’t find a good exit from this swamp (I’m trying to head further west to Favell Lake) but looking at the satellite shot has given me some clues. Great ice and snow shots.


The trees don’t get very big in these swampy areas.


….and yes, I worked up a sweat getting my fat arse back into the middle of nowhere! Even the dogs seemed to be dragging their butts. Seems like I left my axe in a tree at the end before I turned back to come home…….I’ll need to retrieve that tomorrow!
