 I've tracked with Nim 3 times since posting. The first time, a snow day, Dec 5, I bobbled the phone and had no video. The snow was melting fast. The track was 15 minutes old and when I laid it was snow. when we ran it, there was liquid under the snow.  There was a large area that was mud and snow when I laid the track, it was a puddle when we ran it. Nim had a lot of trouble with scent in the mud puddle.  Tracking in the snow was vastly interesting. I could "see" what Nim was scenting.

 I've posted video from the November 25th tracking class as well as video from tracking with Nimrod on the 2nd.  The tracking class video is late because we were out of town for the holiday and had no internet. Then there were network connection problems. The Dec 2nd track was article with food, ten shuffle steps FD, 3 steps, FD, ten shuffle steps. It was a 1, 90-degree L turn. Each leg was about 100 yards if I understood Google Earth correctly. The track had no age as I was losing light rapidly. google
