Thoughts on Trails

…bed and breakfast. We hadn’t yet found the regular coffee. Travels within TN. Love Chattanooga, it has a shop that has the rare good chocolate chip scone.

Touristy trails, and small town parks with caves.

Around winter solstice a walk with a childhood friend by a Nashville boom pasture:

Winter rains, trains, and clear, cool air:

Then off to the west coast for a family event. Here’s a little inland, toward Big Bear:

And staying with cousins, looking out the kitchen window:

We hadn’t had southern California Mexican food in a while. Some chips and salsa while waiting for our order, hot tortillas arrive ahead of our plates:

And a short May backpacking trip in TN. Getting some water:

Settling in:

It’s still a blur of family gatherings since moving east. Now should be a slow summer, with one northern backpacking trip with a friend coming up.
