Deadhorse Trail

Near Mercer, Wisconsin; July 8, 2013:  Since it was a beautiful day I decided to go for a hike on the Deadhorse Trail outside of Mercer. There has been an awful lot of rainfall this summer, and that made for a somewhat wet and swampy hike, with lots of insects swarming as I walked through their territory. Here is one of the swampier low-lying areas along the hunter's trail.
