They have moved to their summer den by the creek, but I found this deer leg by their old den. They have been eating well.
Today is the first day of meteorological summer, and temperatures at The Greenland Country Club have warmed up to a balmy -27C (-17F.) Summer greens fees now apply, but do not include treatment for frostbite and medical evacuation. Ask about our senior discount.
