After two failed attempts, I finally found the Oskar Cemetery today on my tromp through the woods. I also explored two new trails. Much excitement!
The snowmobilers have been very busy. The trail looks like I-75 with all the motorized tracks.

And non-motorized.

Coyote, I think. Some of the other tracks I saw that I was able to identify were rabbit, deer, fox, squirrel, mouse/teeny tiny rodent, dogs, dudes, and skier peoples.
I finally ended up finding the cemetery.

I walked around for a bit and spent about 10 minutes trying to get a decent snap of this guy.

On my way back I found a new trail. It basically looped around and ended up in the back of the folks' house at the 2-mile mark.

I wanted to get some more miles in so I used my gps to route me back to the main trail. After following that for a bit, I came around a corner and found another new trail!

This trail led me through an open field. The wind was really strong and cold, so I didn't stay on it long. On the way back, I passed through some scrub brush and in all of the brown, these vibrant red berries caught my eye. I have no idea what type of berries they are, but they sure were striking against the drab, brown of everything else around them.

I also thought this group of birch trees looked pretty cool, too.

In all, I tromped for a little over 2 hours for 4.10 miles.

Fun, fun, fun!
