Iditarod Trail Again
Being tired from two days of hiking, Bob and I headed out to the Seward Area's locale Nordic ski trails at Divide - or about mile 12 on the Seward High Way. It was late, about 7:00 pm, and a bit rainy but still nice to be outside. As we were walking down to a meadow we spotted a black bear eating berries. He did rear up when Pita growled but then continued to eat without a bother for us. Meanwhile Pita ran around behind Bob and I where she could safely growl and snort. She even started to dig a hole - may be an escape route? The Iditarod Trail goes through the ski trails at different points and then continues on to Meridan Lake and Long Lake. I sure wish the Forest Service would get a few gates put up at the entrances to the Iditarod. There are already bad ruts from wood cutters driving trucks on what is a non-motorized area. The trails are wet and just can't take the load but there is so much dead wood that it is too tempting. |
