Good day!
An eclectic day awaits since the Book2 read-thru is complete.
I absolutely need to clean. My writing projects come at the expense of most everything else.
Beyond that, theres my writing journal, a preliminary blurb for Book2, & other neglected tasks.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Home for over a decade now, which is a long time for me.
I love the climate & outdoors, especially the rivers & mountains, which are more accessible than anywhere Ive lived.
Yet, my life here feels tenuous, like another chapter is waiting
Be everwell.
these are usually the trails I like to road, I need to feel the stones in my arms & ass for fun as well as climbs that almost forced me to go hiking off my bike.

Good day!
I saw my first eight-legged creepy crawly yesterday so thats it. Im done.
My apologies to anyone who had plans for the summer, but were skipping straight to autumn.
Nothing personal, spidie creatures.
Theres a good reason why I live in the north.
Be everwell.

5 Kelso Dunes, Mojave Desert CA
The Kelso Dunes tower impressively in the eastern Mojave Desert, forming the second-tallest dune system in California. There are no half measures on this hike - be sure to climb all the way to the top!

Die braucht unsere Hilfe!
Seit ich im Sommer 2022 in eine Woche lang mit anpacken durfte, schaue ich ganz anders auf gut gepflegte , weil ich nun wei, wieviel Arbeit dahinter steckt.
Um so erschtternder ist es, lesen zu mssen, dass der Organisation im wunderschnen dank der AmericaFirst-Politik die finanziellen Mittel komplett gestrichen wurden.
Seit gestern luft deshalb bis zum Monatsende eine , die ich hiermit etwas promoten mchte.
Das Trail-Projekt wird von sehr engagierten und netten Menschen aus Amerika sowie vor Ort im Kaukasus vorangetrieben, anvisiert wird ein 3000Km Trail durch , und .
Ein Muss fr jede Weitwandererin und Weitwanderer.

trails do not develop by themselves.
The TranscaucasianTrailAssociation needs our help!
Since I was able to help out for a week in in the summer of 2022, I look at well-maintained trails in a completely different way because I now know how much work goes into them.
It is all the more shocking to read that the organization in the beautiful has had its funding completely cut thanks to the America First policy.
As a result, a fundraising campaign has been running since yesterday until the end of the month, which I would like to promote here.
The trail project is being driven forward by very committed and friendly people from America and locally in the Caucasus. The aim is to complete a 3000km trail through Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
A must for every long-distance hiker.

Good day!
Reviewing Book2 (about 33% of the way in a day). My editing skills had obviously improved by Book3.
So, more of doing that on a mild day, my windows at last open. Ill walk, do some cleaning.
An outing is planned for the 7th, & another hike will happen soon.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Heading into the forest. Let the adventure begin
So began my last hike.
Time to shift my attention to Book2, A River in Each Hand, & preparing it for publication.
Because Book3 is a prequel, it served as the perfect lead-in to Book2 (& Books 1,4,5).
Im so ready to do this.
Be everwell.

Good day!
And so it ends
The month, that is.
Ill complete the last of the Book3 read-thru today after my walk, & after editing my blog post.
Then, Ill quickly catch up on neglected tasks before returning to Book2, which Ill stay with to publication.
Be everwell.

Footpath through the towering pines, White Memorial Foundation, Morris, Connecticut. April 25, 2025, 4:44 PM.
This is the story of the erosion battle in the Rockies. To fight it, the forest service places barriers to channel rainwater.
Then, mountain bikers go around it, creating a new trail and, eventually, a new channel. There are trail channels the bikes have cut that are absurdly deep.
To be fair, Ive seen lazy hikers go around it, too, rather than step over it.

Good day!
Yesterday, I went exploring. Literally. At each juncture, I took the trail least traveled. What an amazing experience!
About 50F/10C, slight breeze, sunny. I topped a ridge & witnessed a snowstorm on Lolo Peak.
Spring has sprung & it was a great day!
Be everwell.

Good day!
I went on a poetry binge yesterday. Who knows where that comes from
The read-thru of Book3 is flying along. Im about 75% of the way through one of two threads. This thread is about 52% of the book.
I may hike today. The weather is dicey, but I should soon know.
Be everwell.

Good day!
FINISHED! The targeted edit on Book3 is done. A fast read-thru for continuity, then on to Book2 & its publication.
Ill also, at last, hike, but also clean this poor apartment & prep my journal for May
May is my mental health scourge, & always a good time to be busy.
Be everwell.

Good day!
ONE chapter remains in Book3 to edit, one with high emotions.
Ill then take a couple of days to read through the two threads looking for major continuity issues.
My priority, though, will be a hike. Ive abused my body to finish this month. Its time to recharge on the trail.
Be everwell.

Good day!
In my endless quest to find Riparias rock along the river, this is the closest Ive come (a Kovenlore Chronicles reference).
Speaking of which
Only TWO chapters remain to edit in Book3. Todays, unfortunately, has some issues. Im weary, but almost done.
First, Ill walk
