Sun burning off morning fog! (Joel Vignere photo, others by Keith Hammer)
Thirteen Swan Rangers skied Bog Road in the Swan River Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, January 17, 2015!
The day started with a bit of ground fog beneath a clear, sunny sky!
Click here for more info about the Refuge, which is located a couple miles south of the town of Swan Lake.
Critter tracks lead the way toward the Mission Range . . .
. . . leaving the Swan Range behind!
An open lead of water shows sign of otter and other critters - and issues a challenge in route selection . . .
. . . to reach the Swan River!
The river banks display the subtle forms that make winter and snow extra special!
A small rodent meets its end via the double pounce of a large winged creature!
The Swan Rangers meet every Saturday at the Echo Lake Cafe for breakfast at 8:30, leaving at 9:30 for a partial day outing in the northern Swan Mountains and foothills.
They carpool from the Swan River School parking lot next to the Cafe.
Everyone is welcome!
