New Wildlife Sightings

On an otherwise routine ride around Chatfield Lake today, I had one unusual wildlife encounter. It was in the stretch of "secret" trail I mentioned in my previous posting. I was riding along at a moderate pace when I surprised two full size deer who ran across the path to a point about 40 feet away. They stopped there with big eyes staring back at me and their big ears sticking up. I slowed down but kept going to leave them in peace. They had surprised me as much as I surprised them.
