My family went hiking for Anna's 22nd Birthday yesterday. In honor of 5N, I asked my dad to take a picture of my shoes at the top. 9, 500 feet may not be the top of the world, but it's close enough.
Also of note along the trail: painfully obvious or vapid trail signs.
"In extreme situations, forest fires can be a source of danger and destruction."
"Does man change the forest? Of course. But how did the forest change you?"
"As you continue up the trail, you will notice changes in the vegetation. These changes aren't good....they aren't bad....they just are."
And now, we really are leaving...(see previous entry).
