The previous day's freezing rain, left the entire area coated with a thick layer of ice on the snow. The trees were not cold enough to freeze up, but where it hit the deep snow, ice was everywhere.

So quiet, yet such perfect snow.

With the ploughed Ravine Road County Highway 13 in distance, there finally was some snowshoe tracks to follow on back to the road, so it was less slogging through the heavy snow.

Hiking back along the old Partridge Run Road, I was a bit concerned that the bridge would finally be gone, but it's still there but there are more and more holes in the deck. I hope eventually the put a new pedestrian deck on the bridge, because it would really cut off easy access to this part of the Partridge Run should the bridge be inaccessible to pedestrians. The state gets a shit ton of money from Pittsman-Robertson, maybe they should use some of it to maintain state game lands.
