Fall Backpacking Trip
Just returned from a trip in the Smoky Mountains, three days of quiet time in the woods. A time to clear my head and my lungs, commune with the critters and escape my troubles.
While on the trail, I met a fellow that had been on the trail for 25 days! I’m deeply envious of this guy, a young biologist from Wisconsin that seems to have his life totally together.
A Barred owl kept us company at night, and I also got to see my first Scarlet Kinglet, although both escaped the camera lens. They’re artful dodgers, masters of their domain.
Pics are here.
