5 January: Porcupine Path
 |
| Anyone at home? |
On our trail today were two luxury porcupine mansions, with plenty of signs
that the residents were at home. Both
sites were located in very old maple trees, where the leaning trunks had been
excavated to create a large entrance. No
doubt inside there was plenty of room for the whole family.
Our 4.5 km snowshoe adventure today was a newly created circuit around
our friend’s woodland, crossing swamps and ridges – a route only possible when
the ground is either dry – hardly ever – or frozen and snow-covered – as today.
The crusty snow showed signs of passing animals, but we saw none. Even the porcupines were staying indoors – at
least until dinner-time I suppose.
