[tpeakphotos]

On a mid-autumn morning after a nice little dusting of snow I decided to take a walk on the Bizz Johnson Trail in the Susan River Canyon. “The Bizz,” as it’s known by us locals, is part of the Rails to Trails Conservancy (railstotrails.org) which promotes using defunct railroad grades as hiking, biking, riding trails across the nation. It runs from Westwood California down to Susanville California, a bit over 20 miles, much of it right along the shore of the beautiful Susan River.

I walked from the Devil’s Corral trailhead a down to just past one of the two tunnels the trail goes though. On the way back I was struck by the way the tunnel opening framed the trail and surrounding scenery and felt compelled to capture this photograph.

Elk on George S. Mickelson Trail

“Wash your hands.” “Hey, wash both your hands with soap!” The nagging didn’t stop there. “Were you aware that you need to clean them throughly!” “As you stand there peeing and reading this sign, make sure you wash your hands!” Not sure if this integral piece of advice was passed down by the four Presidents from Mount Rushmore or Crazy Horse before battle, but this important message was plastered…

Elusive White-Tailed Deer

I did see one deer this morning on the trail during my 3 mile walk. This is as close as my 200 mm lens would reach! 🙂

Another Reflective Winter Walk, This Time On The Greater Hazleton Rails To Trails.

 For those of you who follow my  blogs, you would know my previous blog  was about a hike on Saturday, and the reasons for my dislike of Winter. Well , I experienced a few of those reasons when I awoke Sunday morning. About two inches of snow and some freezing rain fell overnight at my home in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The precipitation had ended when I left my house for my morning walk in Hazle…
