Reading a memory in the making. An acknowledgement of growth, time, and release.

Waters that are as untouched as possible. Mmm, those are always the best waters!

Beautiful prose! The true value of any outdoor excursion is exposed most often through struggle as if nature herself was scrubbing off the layers of civility and vanity.

Thank you, Bradley. And that is well said. I like to scrub those lasers off as much as possible, and nature feels like a shortcut.

Thanks. I lucked out. I could spend a month hiking/fishing/struggling in/exploring this area.
