Grizzly Bear tracks. Isaiah and I were cutting a small road through our forest using shovel and ax and rake. It was dry, September, I think, so the clays in the soil turned to powder beneath our tools and our boots. Isaiah raked one section smooth when we were done for the day, hoping to register the tracks of some of our common animals - deer, turkey, raccoon, perhaps something unusual. The next day we found these. Hindfoot is 11" by 7".
The Road Less Traveled is a concept that plays well in photography, poetry, and popular psychiatry, and rightly so. But it is not enough that we find such paths. Someone has to create them.
