Back in March, Jess and I went hiking in Green Lakes State Park near Syracuse. I couldn't help but notice all of the fallen cottonwoods boarding the lake, the tell tale signs of beaver incisors indicating their demise. While we never actually saw any of the living creatures, I knew that heading there at the right time of day might solve that.
So yesterday after work I went to my hotel, prepared myself for the adventure, stopped by for a quick salad for dinner and then headed out to the park. I got there at about 8:00pm, just enough time to get in place around sunset, when I'm most likely to see them. I quickly realized that, in my efforts to lighten my camera bag, I left out one critical piece of equipment: my flash card wallet. By the time I got back to the hotel to retrieve it I wasn't willing to consider going back out.
So, I'm trying again tonight. I'll pack up my stuff, stop by the store for something to drink, and head back out there again. I'm hoping to arrive just around 7:45. That'll give me an hour before the sun sets.
Someone remind me grab my flash cards, will ya?
