Nice picture! I am guessing that at one time there was more walking space on that observation deck. Does anyone know what happened to it?

I love the pasqueflowers. Every Spring I look forward to walking out to the pasture to find them & take pictures of them. I'm wondering, though, with all the snow in my area, when it will be before I can take that walk - later rather than earlier, I'm thinking.
