wow autumn meets the winter, always wanted to walk such scenery

In Indiana I saw a bunch of something flying high overhead. Can't really see them but does anyone know what these are? Didn't sound like the usual geese...or do they make different kinds of sounds?

Yeah I decided to skip most of 131 and take M-115 to 127 instead. I don't think it mattered. Highway patrol and tow trucks every 10 minutes!

When hiking out 4am Monday I think I sweat more at 19° than I did all summer. Never be afraid to dress lightly when snowshoeing!

Nice winter action already! Heading back up next weekend for more.

It's ironic how the most prevalent problem in winter is overheating! Must vent/peel at the first sign of warmth.

I'm glad for you and at the same time jealous that you have snow.

Those are Sandhill Cranes. We have hundreds of them around us right now. I saw a flock in a field on my way to work this morning.

Yep. Sandhill cranes are migrating. I love hearing them and trying to find where they are...which is usually way higher up than you expect. They are loud buggers.
