I did a hike yesterday down to Deep Creek. The stream waters are running a bit higher due to the warmer temps melting the snow. I posted six photos that I took at the Wizard's pictures link below or go to:

One of the photos shows a big animal print in the fresh mud by the creek that I think is from a Mountain Lion. Another photo shows a huge driftwood pile and there were others like it along the creek. I saw a few leaves popping out so spring has begun :-)
