Observation Site Number One!

At Observation Site Number One, the wind was blowing something fierce.  Thus, we began to feel as though we might freeze to death.  It was a cold day in the dead of winter, and it seemed at first like everything must be dead.

However, as we spread out to look at the ridge that was our first sight, we encountered signs of life.  As dead leaves and branches rattled around us, we came upon some scrubby pine trees and a little, smelly present left behind by an unknown animal in the middle of the path.  Said specemin can be viewed above!
