Mar 14, 2009 Powderface Creek

Just went out to get some sun and went out for a couple hours. It was a beautifully sunny day but wind was howling. That wind made it a bit uncomfortable. We didn't bring our snowshoes but there was enough snow. Right on the path there was the remnants of a deer that must have been killed within the last day or so. Most of it was not on the path but Jake found a rack of ribs in the bush. It took a bit of doing to get it from him!
