Thirty miles into the hike I set-up my poncho into an A-frame shelter to protect me from the relentless, cold rain. In the blink of an eye I’d slept three hours, deciding that maybe I needed another twelve. The cold rain continued through the night, the trees swaying and cracking above me in the wind. […]
Heading South
In the hushed confines of the trailer, I ignite candles as a feeble defense against the encroaching cold.
