Trails Closed


With the official closing of the snowmobile trails, we have kept our trails, but now they are mostly melting down. The backwoods still has some very deep snow (two feet in spots) but we have put the sleds away and are already hauling straw. This is a bit early and perhaps we'll have another blizzard , but not enough for using it with dogs, I'm sure.

This is a photo of Sulatna, a retiree, as we checked out the trails yesterday. She and her Lab buddy, Chena, were loving the opportunity to free run all over the hills, after snow, pre tall grasses. It will be trail mowing time before we know it.

Neighbors have seen bear prints, but I haven't seen too much wildlife, other than rabbits, eagles, deer foraging and enjoying the new grass. I did see a single white swan flying over. It seems the wildlife is active at night , however, as the dogs have been a bit noisy .
