The moon sinks over foothills east of Carter Mountain at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2. “The snow squeaked under my feet in the -9 degree temperature,” said Fred Burris, who took this photograph.
Sundown too soon: It gets dark too darned quick these days. While hiking in a remote area, yours truly truly faced the error of his ways when he was forced to withdraw with dusk closing like a heavy, chilling cloak in the forest with grizzly bear tracks abounding. My timing was way off. I reckoned I could hike in X number of miles and return before sundown, but my calculations were erroneous, especially after lingering too long by a snowy creek, absorbing the beauty and tranquility. It was right scary with no moon, but plenty of clouds to hamper progress and lend the air an eery aura. Still, I made it. A little wet and cold, but no worse for wear. I promised myself I would never make the same mistake, but I know sooner or later the wilderness — like a Greek siren — will seduce me once again. Tribune photo by Gib Mathers
