Took a walk at Beaver Meadows yesterday, another small CCC area in the forest with some trails that circle a beautiful reservoir. I had to walk from the macadam road along the access road which was a sheet of ice in some places and had snow that was too deep for the car in others. A few people had managed to drive in with four wheel drive and I found their footprints in elevated impressions where the deep snow they had walked through had been compressed and then the softer snow around the prints had melted. Because sunshine has been rare this winter a blue sky day such as this was a blessing, with warmth to the sun that hinted of spring.
Postscript: 3/3/21- Despite the snow at the CCC site, most of it has melted in town and I saw the first Grackle in a tree today. The return of the migrators is always a welcome sign of spring!
