I am so happy that you've decided to join us here!

A few things you should know:
You can upload up to 4 photos (size restricted) in each post.

Once you've typed and uploaded, you need to fearlessly click the green button that says "Share With Us". You can preview your post and edit it if you wish before it disappears into cyberspace.

You can skip the "author" info and just include your name in your post, if that's easier.

You will also see a graphic challenge and some check boxes (submission guidelines) that need to be completed before you can post.

Due to my website host's strict restrictions around security and privacy, I need to "approve" your post before it goes live. You can choose to receive notification when that happens. Please don't take this personally, it's just something I am locked into.

Sorry that this is a bit clunky compared to what we had before.

And again, I apologize for shutting down our Mighty Network community. Looking forward to hearing from you here!!

Happy New Year :)

 Raccoons!!
by: Diane

Those are the huge feet of raccoons. This particular animal stayed in the center of the trail and seemed to understand where it flexed and turned. Pretty entertaining to follow it!

P.S. We got 14 inches of snow overnight and are now in record breaking cold temperatures. I agree, stay safe everyone! I hope my raccoon friend has a warm hollow log to curl up inside.

 What were those tracks?
by: Carol T

Dianne - what animal went before you on the hiking trail picture? Looked like claws, but I could get a feel for how large.

Stay warm during the Bomb Cyclone Hiking Sisters! It was 40F outside this afternoon, but it will be dropping dramatically in the next few days. All the hiking groups are cancelling their hikes due to cold and unusually high winds.
