North Country explorer from All over
My dog Lida and I skied into High Rock in the Five Ponds Wilderness this morning. There was just enough snow to make it enjoyable, and the temps were low enough this morning, but by the time we returned between noon and 1 pm it had warmed up enough the snow was beginning to stick to the skis. Can anyone identify what manner of creature left the prints in the snow? There were lots of deer sign, coyote prints, snowshoe hare tracks, one otter track near Skate Creek, and a fairly large creature had left a trail of prints in the snow on the Oswegatchie River that was visible but not identifiable from High Rock. You may be able to pick them out in the photo, but my lense had moisture on it that I didn't notice at the time so it may obscure the tracks. Overall the snow level is worrisome this year but it seems there is just enough to get the skis out.
