After Church today, we decided to take a hike on top of Windy Ridge to see how far the trail is open and also to look for elk shed (the elk lose their antlers and they are fun to go find). We loaded the dogs and headed for the top of the hill.
This shot is a self portrait to show the beautiful snow capped hills all around us. We had fairly good trails but the north facing areas still had almost knee deep snow in spots.

Terry and Ally are on top of a rocky knoll to spot stuff with their binoculars. We decided to walk the ridge instead of the north facing snow covered trail.
I used my camera timer to get the whole hiking party in the picture
It's time to get the seeds started here on the river. Terry is out in his 'New' garden shed with his plant starts. 
The shed is a 'recycle' from Emilys house in Boise. Terry 'pimped' it out by adding a window to turn it into a hot house. It is glorious in there this time of year. The temp averages about 90 during the day time sunny hours, but still gets down to low 30's over night. This summer it will probably spontaneously combust with all the sunlight that will go through that huge window to heat that little bitty space!! I will keep you all posted.
As we were hiking on the very top of the ridge, there was a grassy flat area that had all these sink holes in it. 
There is a whole are that looked as if a giant had made footprints in the soft earth...
The thing is, the grass is not dug out from the hole, and it is undisturbed except that it is sunken. Could it be a form of pingo? It's just a really weird area to have something this is frost heave related........very puzzling indeed.
