 | Comments: |
A quick 2-mile loop after work through the refuge. This is a nice little walk, I hadn't been here in a while. Lots of wildlife and bird sightings written on the chalkboard. All trails dry, even on the usually muddy section of the RT. I startled a beaver who was chilling on a log on the way out. Sorry about that, little buddy. |
