Short hike up at Eklutna Lake with Bella. I did bring my skis but I found the parking lot and trail were basically glare ice, but with a thin 1 inch cover of snow. That made for extremely slippery conditions. So I put my spikes on my boots and we walked about 3 miles round trip. We walked to the spot where my dog, Baby was killed. I did a lot of searching and finally did locate the two butterflies I had attached to the trees in the area. But the little mini birdhouse was still missing. I wasn't sure which tree I'd hung it on. But once home, I looked at old pictures and now I know what kind of tree to look for. I may be able to find the original hook if the tree is still there. It does appear that a couple of trees in that spot have either fallen or been cut down. I'll check again soon. I would like to find the little house or replace it if I can find that tree and hook. That trail is usually very busy, but today there were only 2 cars in the parking lot. The owners of those 2 cars passed me heading out in the first half mile. So I let Bella off her leash to run free. I could tell she liked that.
