We went out to SAFF today. We walked down the North Trail to the waterway and followed it all the way to the South Trail.

Down in the waterway at bottom of SAFF. We were happy to find a way across and connect the two trails. We are standing in a spot where we saw deer and other tracks.
Animal tracks along the waterway where they stop to drink and cross.

We heard the woodpecker laughing and talking while we were at the bottom along the waterway and he visited us in the clearing at the top. We could also hear a hawk calling while we walked through the woods. We saw large spiders in funnel webs at the bases of trees. Many spider webs across the trees. We saw butterflies. They were black with blue. Iridescent.

We found Russulas and boletes. We found a polypore that had teeth on the bottom.

We used a dolly to move the cedars we culled today to use to build the bathroom and compost toilet. It was effective.
