Shortcuts make for long delays. Walked on air for a while, well, blown down timber anyway. Through a dense tangle of alders no less.  Also, there was a pond. Fun crossing at mile 14, with the day’s heat fading.  Side note. Lick Creek. That will make sense in wither this episode or the next. Can’t remember in which episode I forgot. Which speaks volumes to how my brain… works.

The Long Walk, day 5

Veering off the beaten trail. A solo backpacker gets few opportunities to share stories around the campfire. It’s been brought to my attention that there are folks out there who might enjoy those trail stories. I’ll share them here, recorded on the trail in whichever wilderness I wander. I’m no survival expert, save in that I’ve spent much time in the wild, and haven’t died yet. No instructions. Tips and tricks will be incidental to the stories. The focus here will be on the experience of life in the wild. The vast, sweeping mountains and those little adventures each day brings. Stories in scale from mouse to moose.
