Today I saw pitcher plants and skunk cabbage flowers. And I saw Tamaracks growing their new needles. I saw a turkey vulture. On the way to the hike, we saw a group of wild turkeys and another group of Sandhill cranes.
My old record was ten miles in one day. Today, I beat my record and hiked 11.5 miles!! I'm tired, but happy.
Tiny grasshoppers, just hatched. We found these crawling out of holes in the sand.
