Temps were in the high 30’s with a frigid wind when I set out this morning. But the sun was shining brightly, and my thermal wear proved more than sufficient.

A bit of snow on the trail, but thankfully not much mud, as the moist ground was mostly frozen. The late autumn sunlight added an air of mystery to the adventure. And as always, the stillness, rocks, trees, and vistas provided a deep connection with spirit.
