I was in Lyme, NH for work today, and decided to hike/bushwack to a remote little pond on the western flank of Smarts. I started at the trailhead for Trout Pond, which is another pond west of Smarts.
AS I was crossing this wetland, I saw a coyote! I couldn't get my camera out quick enough to get a picture.
One of the small falls I came aross on this trip. This is on a small unnamed brook south of Smith Mountain Brook.
a bear tree. looks like it's been climbed a bunch!
I found it! Upper Smith Mountain Pond (at least that's what I'll call it).
fisher tracks, I believe
another waterfall, this one on Smith Mountain Brook. I also came across the remnants of an old cabin near here.
and here we are, back at Trout Pond, looking east towards Smarts.
It was good to get out and just wander around a bit. Besides the fisher tracks, bear tree, and coyote, I saw a fisher along the brook, some wood ducks, and also heard my first winter wren of 2012!
