My buddy and I were collecting track casts from #399 and her cubs on the mud flats by Pilgrim Creek in the Tetons when I shot this picture. It shows how we build a mud or stick surround to enclose the track that will contain the plaster when we pour it in. Before pouring in the plaster, I spray the track with the cheapest hair spray that I can find – White Rain is a favorite. It hardens the track and sometimes makes it possible to get multiple casts from single track.
I am Jeff Clark, founder of Internet Brothers, producer of this blog, and passionate about hiking. I live in Western NC near the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests are just out my door, so the content will focus on these areas, but let me know what you would like to see on the site.
