Waiting For Spring.....

Waiting....

Waiting....

Waiting....

Tired Of Waiting.....

Not Waiting!

Because there's work to be done!

Clearing the trails of downed tree branches after all that snow.
 

Out into the woods to cut heavy tree boughs blocking the trails.

Hard work.

Back breaking work.  

But someone has to do it. 

And someone has to take the pictures.

And this was before the recent blizzard.  I can only imagine what this place looks like now.

The first snow lay heavy on the tree boughs.  Then a rain came and froze the boughs, almost as in a protective layer over the snow.

But it added tremendous weight.  Virtually all of the trees branches sagged very low.  Obscuring any trail markings.  And perhaps permanently damaging the branches if it remains there too long.  As it did during the 1999 ice storm.

And with the recent storm, it may not be going any time soon......

But right now, certainly a winter wonderland.

Perfect for Christmas.
