The weather remains a little too warm for snow, which is unusually warm. Not that were receiving rain, anyway.
At least the taller peaks are white.
The novel scan is progressing nicely. Creating my editing system taught me so much.

Good day!
The days have grown short, the sun struggling to climb high enough to shine above the mountains to the south.
Good days for finding the light within.
Also good days for accomplishing a lot at home. Like my novel scan. Like my blog post.

Good day!
Ill pass halfway on the Book4 novel scan after my morning walk.
It was tempting to divert from my novel rotation after publishing Book1, but my approach has served me well.
At its heart, my method is about patience. If I lose that, the standard Ive set declines.

Good day!
Ive caught up on my sleep now & am firmly returned to Book4s novel scan. Im 42% of the way (yes, I track it).
The temperatures are again on the warm side of average here. I need to pick a day & trail to hike soon.
Be everwell.
Another day on the . A 12 inch Douglas Fir came down and brought a small Madrone down with it. Both died in the 2017 Nuns Canyon fire. Fortunately we hike with a small chainsaw and were able to get the Madrone out of the way. The Fir will have to wait until we carry in the larger saw.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday. I had a wonderful day of animals, food, football (Go Pack Go!), and love.
I was gone for 36 hours.
My walk was a trail out of town that passed this photogenic piece of history, the Mission Mountains hidden.
Now, the routine returns.

Dear goers I need some suggestion.
For a training document I am looking a to around the world but better in . It needs to have good data, rich in natural features to display such as peaks, rivers, cliffs foresrs etc. Minimal human infra and good , paths, tracks.
Any suggestions

Exploring the Southwest along six urban loop trails
The American Southwest is filled with amazing hikes and bike rides that take you to some of the most scenic landscapes in the entire nation. But, one doesnt have to explore just National Parks or scenic landscapes in rural areas. Six cities across the Southwest have established or are in the process of completing urban loop trails that provide local residents and visitors with energizing and enriching experiences of their own.
The following urban loop trails are listed in order from the longest (56+miles) to the shortest (just under 12 miles). They are located in/near cities ranging in population from just under 3,000 to well over 500,000.
Each urban loop trail has its own unique aspects and features including, but not limited to:
- Hiking/biking/cross-country skiing around historic mines at over 10,000 feet (in Leadville)
- Stunning mountain views, rugged volcanic vistas, and rising city skylines
- Crossing the iconic Rio Grande or Historic Route 66
- Passing by crystal blue lakes, through high desert landscapes, and/or amongst serene national forests
- Being awestruck by the vastness and natural beauty of our land
- Experiencing variable terrain and elevations changes
- Enjoying nature and enjoying the varied recreational opportunities
- Being enriched by the diversity of cultures that populate the Southwestern United States
In a number of cases, these urban loops are entirely off-road, while others incorporate bike lanes along streets and roadways. Regardless, these loop trails provide a perspective on cities we often dont have the opportunity to experience seeing them and their periphery at a relatable human speed and scale. Peace!

Good day!
The mountains are white now! Here in the valley (actually, the convergence of 5 valleys) we had just enough to coat the grass.
The novel scan continues (25% done).
Now, theres prep for Thanksgiving, as in foodplus I repainted my nails.
