Wattensaw

We decided to explore some new areas of Wattensaw by foot, we normally had taken our kayak. We hiked right through the middle of the park from West to East for maybe a little over a mile. There are some very big trees in there, really good habitat. The trees were large enough that underbrush was essentially nonexistent, this may be the closest thing to "old growth" we will ever know. There was some semi-interesting scaling, and I'm sure we'll find better scaling in the coming weeks. Next time we will see if we can find a place for camera traps.

Something really interesting happened on this visit. We came upon a group of deer, and when they spotted us and ran off a bobcat jumped from the bushes and took off after them! Worth the trip just to see that.
