Backward Mutters

"The spell must be unwound, bit by bit with backward mutters of dissevering power." C.S. Lewis

Up, Red, Up


Did the loop around Hanging Rock State Park today. There was a rippin’ tailwind out of the Southwest. Instead to spending myself on the trip up and back, I drove to Hanging Rock. I, know, I know…. At any rate, I took it easy, climbed Sauratown twice and heading back around the southside and back to Hanging Rock. Did I mention the 2omph winds out of the southwest?

Climbing back up Hanging Rock was an effort. I usually do that climb first, and hadn’t noticed how much steeper it is than Sauratown. Climbing at my incredibly slow cadence and speed, who did I run into coming down? Tailights and Chum, you guess? Absolute! They left me a smart alec note on my car windshield. Hiking indeed.
