What a nice morning snowshoeing. Snow totals fell considerably less than what was predicted for the area. None the less it felt good strapping on the snowshoes and hiking. The plan was to hike Soapstone Hill using the lower trail then climb from the gorge. Another snowshoer’ completed this loop sometime yesterday afternoon. This made it easy with following the trail. My conventional long-tail snowshoes made the climb with little issue. Wildlife did move last night seeing a half dozen or so deer tracks two porcupine tracks and my favorite, one bobcat track.
Bobcat followed the snowshoe trial made sometime yesterday afternoon before venturing off into the mountain laurel.
A half mile or so down the trail I could see where the bobcat cut back into the snowshoe trail.
Above you can see where a porcupine wandered around a short distance retreating to an out crop of boulders.
The trail back!
