Good Friday - Still Too Much Snow

Well, it's Good Friday today. Last year at this time, we were in the woods looking for dinosaur bones! There was no snow left (virtually), even in the cedars! This year is very different. We've had about a week of temps hovering around the 32 degree mark and thankfully some of them were sunny. I would say that it's going to be another 2 weeks before it's worth charging out there. The problem is that with such a narrow window of time before green up, a person doesn't want to walk the same place twice, so there will be many trips out to the woods in those four weeks. Really, there's only a few places that are worth walking through, but others still have that mysterious "what if...". Pencil is the number one priority. I might take some high school kids out to the refuge and try to cover some of that area while I wait for the snow to burn off a little more. Hopefully we can find something worth hunting.
