It was a very gray day combined with walking deep in the old river valley lined with steep banks created a challenge to capture detail in the photos. As we parked the car along side the road, a group of snowmobiles came by.
We snowshoed across a field to get to the ancient river valley.
Then we found a place to get down the steep banks. The photo below shows a huge downed tree caught up in the branches. The tree doesn't look that big in the photo, but it is almost three feet in diameter and dozens of feet long.
Lois checking out the big trees....
I have snowshoed this route once before when there was less snow. Thankfully it was easier this time since most of the downed trees were under the snow, but not all....

Huge pine trees lined the banks...
We carefully crawled under this broken downed tree. We had to make sure that we didn't cause it to release the tension...

Finally we broke out into the open on the Lake Superior shoreline. Everything was white...
As we headed toward the second car that we had dropped off earlier, we spotted a woodpecker.
