If you have been here before then you know that my adventures often do not go as planned. This is an example of that – except in a good way. With giant trees and abandoned bunkers and an old water tower and interpretive signs and a bridge and an ocean view, my plans couldn't hold a candle to what was in store.

Humans may have built the road, but it is very clear that the forest owns this space and the humans are only visiting.

I had planned for just an hour and ended up spending the whole day at this Living Memorial for the Heroes of Flight 93 on September 11th.

"I had not been on a trail in over a month and when I passed the threshold into the meadow it was as if Mother Nature herself enveloped me and said, 'Welcome home.'"

This week I found a few bridges and a waterfall, and realized that humidity is not my friend.
