It's been awhile since I've posted but I have been out a fair bit scouting locations. It's been so freakin' cold though!! Uggghhh!
This one is WAY off the beaten path and was quite the ordeal to get in to. For anyone who is not from here, the back roads, in the winters, are all graded and the snow usually forms a high bank along the ditches. I needed to walk in about 750 m to this place but had to first tackle the large bank of snow. Usually they harden up and you can just walk on top of them but my first step in, I sunk to the top of my legs. I ended up doing a crawl, roll mash up to get across it but still had thigh high deep snow to walk through to get in. I should have brought my snow shoes!
The effort was worth it because I finally found a house with some colours in it. There wasn't much else but usually here it's all the glorious shade of dead wood. The hole in the floor had a small staircase down into a cellar, which I did not go down but thought of thegerm because that'd be the first place he'd go.
I typically don't go upstairs either when I'm way out in the boonies and solo (safety reasons), so my pics are limited to the main level.
I followed an animal trail out...deer and coyote...way easier! Smart animals!
