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!
THREE chapters remain to edit in Book3.
I had a flashback yesterday, a moment of irrational fear when I questioned if my next breath would be there.
It was.
That wasnt always the case. Once youve taken a breath & there was no air, you never forget.
Im grateful for each one.
Be everwell.

I'm very impressed by the work Miles and other hikers put into -- the project is inspiring, and the website is nicely designed.

FOUR chapters remain for me to edit in Book3. Yesterdays was hampered by nearby construction that even overpowered my headphones.
I finished.
Today, more construction Im prepared. Ill walk, edit my blog post, & tackle a chapter.
They wont stop me.

Its difficult to get up when theres a soft, purring creature snuggled tight to your chest.
FIVE chapters left to edit in Book3.
When I walk this morning itll be freezing. The nights remain cold, the days mild.
Ill then draft this weeks blog post, part two in a self-editing series.

Good day!
Whew!
Left home at 8:05, streaked across town to the pharmacy, made two stops on the way back, & was on the walking trail at 8:53.
Time to drink more water, make tea, & edit.
On the walk, I saw birds. They were doing bird things in a bird sort of way like birds are prone to doing.
Be everwell.

Good day!
SIX Book3 chapters remain to edit. Counting down is but one of the things I do to fuel my motivation.
Ill grab a prescription at the pharmacy when they open, then walk.
Im so ready to hike. Ive never pushed as hard at editing as I have this month.
Be everwell.

*Lolo Peak.
7-chapters remain to edit in Book3.
Yesterdays chapter required cross-referencing with Book1. Its complicated.
What isnt complicated is that, yet again, I cried. The moment is setup in Book1 in Plandons cavern.
A walk, & another chapter
Be everwell.

Good day!
Eight chapters to edit in Book3. Since its targeted editing, I bounce around. After my walk, Ill tackle the last longish chapter.
With only short chapters remaining, next week I can fit in a hike.
I wont hike on the weekends. Ive learned that lesson.
Be everwell.
