Hearts

Found a pair a hearts carved into the rocky back of the creek during a hike.

Trailblazing on the Zayante Creek

As a boy, I spent much of my time on the Little Stillwater Creek that runs through our family farm's acreage. While my father was on the tractor plowing the fields, I was methodically creating and maintaining a series of trails along the creek. With these few acres of my own, old habits are blazing anew.

Wonderful thing about trailblazing in my neck of the woods: other humans, and even the wildlife, have already created most of the paths.

Falling down doesn't necessarily mean it's the end if you grow from it.

Good trail, but I rank parts as strenuous and not for the meek, or well dressed.
