During the last couple of weeks of September it got cold! We had temps down into the singles a couple of nights and a few inches of snow here and there. Our jobs were done by the first of October so we resumed playing and working on projects at our place. A four-wheeler ride out on the Stampede Trail was one of the top priorities.
Great day to bundle up and go for a ride.
Bear tracks in the trail! How fresh? We weren't quite sure until we came up on the vehicles that left these tracks (under the bear prints) within a few minutes! WOW! That was a close one!
A frozen beaver pond alongside the trail.
The beaver's dome was halfway covered in snow.
This is the top of the home.
A beautiful day to lay by the river and soak up the sun!
We rode downstream a little ways to where the Savage River meets the Teklanika River.
A great spot to look for neat rocks and call it a day!

As of now (Oct. 21st), we have had over a week of 50 degree temps so we are snow free again and back in T-shirts!
Beaver, eh? I hope they have enough food stored for winter.
