BOW Track and Sign Day 2

This morning we met at the Fish and Game building and then piled into the van and Mike drove us to Chena Hot Springs Road. There was SNOW up there..aaah! Such interesting microclimates here haha. We first stopped at Leslie's house (she was at the summer BOW as well!) in Two Rivers. Her house and property is AWESOME..so pretty! We saw signs of moose eating on trees and maybe a vole track. Then we continued on to about mile 25.5, went down a trail, parked and ate lunch. It was pretty chilly in the shade but once we got walking and got in the sun I was actually hot. There were some sweet bear tracks on the trail! Mike was so puzzled cause he couldn't find the right front foot! Not once did we see one. So either he was injured or has no right front foot at all. Wow. We went down to the river and saw lots of mink, fox, moose, more of the bear, regular dog and even some raven, beaver and eagle tracks! So cool. It was such a gorgeous day too. Then we went back to the van..I think we walked about 3.5 miles in total! Nicee haha. We stopped at a little grocery type place to have dinner and drove back to Fairbanks. Fun times haha
