The first frost arrived a week earlier than last year. The bracken has turned copper and the stream is running clear and cold.
Notes from the trail
A small, slow-moving journal about walking routes, weather on the ridge, and the plants that show up along the way.
Packing light
A short list that has survived many seasons: a wool layer, a flask, a paper map, and a pencil that actually writes in the rain.
