Walking around the property
















I heard some of you were have trouble leaving comments, i have changed a setting so that shouldn't be a problem anymore. Today have another video and pictures of the area surrounding Dougs properties. He owns 3 separate 5 acre properties, all connected to each other and the rest of the area is state land, so you can pretty much do what ever you'd like to on it. In the video i take a walk from my cabin, to feed the geese, down to the river crossing and back to the cabin on a different trail. If i haven't mentioned it before, Dougs has lots of animals and one of them is geese. He brought 9 of them down to the slough when i started staying at the cabin on the lake and now i feed them everyday. In the pics today i have a look at pair of Trumpeter Swans, that nest on the lake i'm on and are rare for this area. A look up river on the trail to the river crossing, then from that same spot looking behind up at the hill side that Dougs cabin is on. Then another view of some of the trail while heading out to the river crossing. Note the sticks layed on the trail, lots of the trail is made like this and some is made with large sticks or boards layed in the tire ruts to keep from sinking to far into tundra or swamp. And finally a picture of the window on my cabin. Apparently i had a little visitor while i was in town. Most likely a small, maybe 2 year old bear cub looking for hand outs. It didn't do anything to the cabin but some things were strewn about in the yard. So far i haven't seen a bear but Sammie has let me know a couple times something is coming down the hill behind the cabin and i just yelled something in the general direction and nothing ever appears, yet.. I have seen a moose on the trail along the slough at a distance of only about 50 ft! Yep, they're huge! Didn't stay long enough for me to snap a pic though. In the next post i'll show you the river crossing and take a ride on an ATV from the river crossing.
