Colt Creek

This place is simple, but almost perfect. The forest is very thin, allowing long distances to be seen. It was completely silent, except for the few times there was loud rushing wind in the treetops. It helped a lot that it was cloudy and mid-sixties (Fahrenheit).

Many trees had burn marks, making me think I was seeing gorillas, panthers, and black bears that would vanish behind the trees as I walked. There was very little real animal life out that day, though I did see three deer as I drove home.
