A veterans day hike into Hitchen's park with 2-3 inches of fresh snow showed plenty of tracks along the way. Otter,mink, mice, squirrels, deer and quite a few different birds had left their prints in the trail. It's always interesting to come across these.

This must be Rt 81 for the mice- double lanes and exits

A mink crossed the trail to reach open water.

A pair of otter had slid overland to a new creek

Otter slide tracks

a single mouse's tracks
