New Years Day we drove up onto Buffalo Pass, as far as the truck would go. They close it down at the campground for skiers and snowmobiles. There were many trucks with trailers parked up there. It was very cold, around zero, but the sky was clear for the first time in several days, and instead of going home, we went back around through the Elk River valley to Clark and up toward Slovonia, where we hiked in the fall. Once again the road was closed for winter use, but we went pretty far up and the snow was just beautiful.
Trees with cottonball-like snow.
Our one wildlife sighting, except for cows and horses, was a fat porcupine waddling across the top of a fence buried in snow. There was a car behind us so we couldn't slam on the brakes, so I missed that photo op.
