Winter mysteries



There were three of them. One was solved pretty much for sure given the visit by the missionaries. That was the mystery of the strange tracks. The motion sensing lights probably were set off by the cats that roam the neighborhood. What remains is the mystery of the wrong way guardrail bending. This one is still a head scratcher. In the larger picture it's very obvious the rail was hit from the off road side. Even the 8x8 supports are broken toward the road. The smaller picture shows the terrain on the other side of the rail.. pretty much muskeg swamp. Nothing came from that side hard enough to cause that damage. The railroad is about half a mile or so across the swamp. So, this mystery is deepening. I looked at both ends of the railing, it goes on for almost a mile contiguously, and nothing had hit the end that might have made it buckle. My guess? UFO. Flying low. Ok. A bear? So, maybe there is another option. Maybe it was pulled toward the road by something. Now I have to go check again to see if there are chain marks or some other indication.
