I was thinking tonight would have been a great night to spend in the wilderness camping. That said, tomorrow it keeps looking like the rain is pushed up and I have cloudy skies to look forward to tomorrow and rain by mid afternoon. Next weekend looks good on the long range.
As much as I like Five Rivers Environmental Education Center 🐸, I do think the Rogers Center in Sherburne is better for wildlife observation. Maybe in June I’ll head out there and camp up at Cherry Ridge Camping Area. ⛺
Let’s face it, the fur industry hasn’t been what it was decades ago. The decline in an American “fur boom” through the 1990’s has coincidentally coincided with an increase in wildlife conflict across North America; especially with one wild canid in particular. The coyote has managed to outlast and outwit mankind’s old-world attempts at eradication and broad-scale control. It has also been quite the topic of discussion from coast to coast over the last few years. Few critters can lay claim to the adaptability and resiliency the coyote has cast upon rural and urban America.
While some of it has been the wind and the relatively cool conditions, past few times I’ve been looking off mountain views is definitely seems like the air has a lot less haze due to Coronavirus shutdowns.
