Learning New Skills
On top of having a new hobby, he also learned how to track animals in the snow! To help identify the tracks that he saw, he would take pictures and post them to an animal tracking forum on Reddit. “I never knew anything about what different animals’ footprints looked like, but because we have so much fresh snow when I take hikes in the morning, I see different animal prints.” Because of his animal tracking skills, he has found bobcats, foxes, rabbits, etc.
Going To The Mine
As he found the tracks of a bobcat, he decided to follow its track and see where it leads him. Eventually, the bobcat led him to the mine. Underwood said, “I started following where it came from and it seemed to visit my porch in the night, go down to the hotel that we have, and go into the hotel. It seems to live in one of the old mine tunnels. The tracks go in and out of there each night.”
