# TRAPPER_L | dusk, the third
anyone else winter up past the shelf? i keep seeing a
tall something at the tree edge around dusk. binos show
nothing there. tracks the next morning though. narrow.
wrong stride.
# WX_DAVE | the third
flat light does that. range against a treeline is a coin
toss with no scale reference in the frame. and "wrong
stride" is snowshoe hare relay prints, a classic misread,
everybody does it once.
# TRAPPER_L | the third
hare prints dont stand up dave
# TRAPPER_L | the third
and hares dont leave one set going out and no set coming
back. i walked the whole edge. one direction only.
# WX_DAVE | the fourth
post the photo then.
# TRAPPER_L | the fourth
camera fogged. i know exactly how that sounds.

old-timers on this coast call it the counter. it counts
the sleeping. it does not come indoors and it has never
needed to. keep your lamp lit, keep together, and do not
stare at it. staring is how it finds the front of you.

signalhouse mate this is a weather board

> this is a weather board
it is a board for people who winter alone. i am answering
the question that was asked.
# TRAPPER_L | the fifth
how do you know how many are sleeping
# SIGNALHOUSE | the fifth
i did not say that it knew. i said that it counted.
# TRAPPER_L | the ninth

properly. taking the dog. back tomorrow, will post.
