"Camino a la interioridad II "....
Create your own Art TrailI was trying to capture an image of the fungal fruiting body inside the hollow there, but it appears to me now that what I really captured was a skull-like face in the tree
Only managed 6 miles tonight on my new fairly hilly regular route. Found halfway through the ride that my front breaks were dragging and adjusting them on the fly! For how teash I feel about the short distance I rode, I'm super stoked that I made it all the way up the super steep hill on the gravel portion of the ride for the first time!
Also bonus storm damage along the gravel trail portion:

Good day!
I took this image minutes before seeing my 1st Montana rabbit. Theyre elusive here, apparently.
In Wyoming they were everywhere.
Forest roads are interesting here. Some are used, like this one. Some are purely for hiking now. Some are completely abandoned.
Be everwell.

Green. Waves of green, growing.
Growing is living.
I hike solo, but Im never alone. William Bekemeyer, MD is always with me. Each step is in memory of him giving me a second chance at life.
Its about quality of life, he said.
Always. Thank you.
Be everwell.

This is home, the interstate highway on the right, Clark Fork River on the left, & downtown at lower center. You cant see me down there.
I took the picture.
Before settlers, it was all grassland, no trees. Before humans, it was glacial Lake Missoula.

I went exploring, but before reaching University Peak, I ascended its unnamed, but higher, neighbor with a facility.
It was mild & muggy at the trailhead. Up top, the frigid wind howled & my hands numbed.
It was deserted. No bodies. No screams. Great views.

Good day!
Were having mildly hot days with cool nights and no rain. I walk each morning, then spend my days editing. Not very exciting.
All that changes is if I hike, which I try to schedule around posting to the blog & the weekends when people clog the local trails.

Good day!
A milestone of sorts
When perform my targeted edits on a book, I always begin with the chapters most in need. Im now through those for Book-4.
Im 17% of the way. The process is slow, but works.
It was hot yesterday, cool weather expected tomorrow.

Good day!
This is our day this week to inch over 90F (33C), then its back down. Well reach that this afternoon. Currently, pre sunrise, its 60F (15.5C).
Meanwhile, my editing pace has been astonishing, but I need to take a break for a hike soon before I crash.

Over-tourism: this is what it looks like in -- who behave without consideration for regulations, & made no efforts to understand & respect local .
Two decide to hike Mt. Fuji before open, both need on back-to-back days

Hints of autumn. If I hike high enough & pay attention, multiple seasons coexist (like the snow last month).
Like how I coexist in 2 worlds as a writer. Sometimes, Im reminded of how Im more familiar with the one I created.
When I hike, I can be in both.

Good day!
I love hiking when there are clouds.
They change the landscape beneath them with shadows that roam.
I like to roam, which means theyre the kind of shadows I want walking with me.
And leaving the other shadows in my life behind is why I hike.

More bonus levels Yes please!
6 more down, not a lot left! Excited to see the endgame!

Not exactly what you expect to find in the forest
I live for exploring, someone who becomes a risk taker to make a discovery. Exploring an old ski area wasnt high risk, but I hiked a long way to get there.
Another day of not reaching 70F (21C).

Good day!
So, yesterdays hike
As forecasted, it started out cloudy w/some drizzle. As NOT forecasted, the clouds disappeared. It turned hot with minimal shade.
Dont trust forecasts.
There were great experiences, & I returned with enough time to edit a chapter.

Good day!
Ive been pushing myself relentlessly while editing, but today I take to the trail. Itll be hot in the late afternoon, which is why I go early.
Were also, supposedly, to receive rain later in the week. Ill believe it when I see it.
Later, Ill edit.
Be everwell.
It had been almost a decade since I went biking, until yesterday.Just liked the way this fern looked against the backdrop of the trail on this warm day in late spring
At Prairie Garden Trust, they have benches all along the short trails. You can enjoy the view from an overlook or sit by a pond and enjoy the sounds of nature. This was a great place to stretch our legs and determine what direction to go next. Just be sure to spray for ticks first.
