Story in the Snow

My plan was to hike a path in the snow-covered timber, but all progress stopped when I came across these snowshoe tracks in the snow.

The tracks in the snow were not made by “modern” snowshoes. If I had to guess, I think these were “Huron” style traditional wood and webbing snowshoe tracks.

While the shoes may be new, the style is not. That was what made this snowy path stand out. I wonder what the story was behind the tracks.

Seeing the older style tracks in the snow made me think of days gone by, maybe even a time of black and white photography and weathered explorers. Was that what happened? It is fun to imagine.
