Mud Holes 
        The following are pictures from a couple of mud
        holes we encountered on the trails.  With the ground frozen just below the surface
        there was little need for concern about the usual deep mud is these holes.

        The reason the camera shot above is blurred is
        because Stephen jumped back as it happened.  He was pretty close to the action.
          This AVI file better shows why he jumped. AVI (294K)  |
