Gold Mint Trail

I spent most of today cutting a fallen birch tree with my chainsaw, then dragging it through the woods with my plastic sled. After about 6 hours of that, I was ready for a break. 

It has been a beautiful day, too nice to waste cutting wood and cleaning up the woods. So I drove up to Hatcher Pass and went on a spectacular hike on the Gold Mint Trail. It was so green with wild flowers everywhere. It was great to be in the woods without needing to cut out all the dead and fallen trees.  Just an afternoon to enjoy nature and get in 4 miles of exercise.
