				|  | Track Aging. A good 
				exercise is to make marks in soil (in this case sand), at 
				certain intervals of time. Then come back and watch how the 
				marks or footprints degrade over time.  Do this a few times and you're well on the way to being able 
				to properly age tracks. How old is each track?   |  |

				|  | Here are the same footprints, 
				later. You can see that they have changed quite a bit in the 
				time that passed between the two photos. Care to guess how much time elapsed between the two photos? |  |

				|  | This is a pic from the old days 
				when I spent all my time tracking. Here I spent days with this ant hill, learning the secrets of 
				it building! |  |

				|  | It's never too late or too soon to 
				teach your children to track... Here are my twins learning 
				some skills ... learning to track, the only way I know to show 
				them. Here they follow a "what?"
