Day 14 - Raven Trail (Day Off)

Okay so today I slept up and then goofed around on facebook before I finally decided to get up, take a shower, and then tried to figure out what I was going to do today. I searched and searched without much luck so when I was ready to go I went downstairs and asked for recommendations. This then led me to the Raven Trail in Woodruff, WI.

Now I must say I could have easily spent all day here because not only was there one trail but multiple of different lengths. The longest was 5 miles and the shortest was 1.5 miles; which is what I took because it was labeled "Nature Trail". Thankfully this trail system is only about 10-15min away so I could always go back any time and hit up Hoaggie Doggies on the way for some hotdogs.

 For things first, I arrived and took out my camera and binoculars. Ipod and phone were in pocket and I was ready to bird. I cannot say much about this because pictures honestly express what I saw more then anything. My only real take home message, besides go adventuring of course, is to please keep your dog on a leash when in a park! I am a dog lover but darnit I hate it when your crazy dog is barking a storm at me and scaring all the birds away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After all this I came back and worked on this blog for a while. Later on everyone but one rehaber and one intern went to Pope's Gresham Lodge for an all you can eat fish fry. Best time ever with everyone!!!!! When we all got back we fed 7 baby racoons (yes we have 7 now!) and then I finished this off. Now, bed time. Good night everyone. Back to work tomorrow! :)
