“The rain to the wind said,/You push and I’ll pelt./They so smote the garden bed/That the flowers actually knelt,/And lay lodged–though not dead./I know how the flowers felt.” ― Robert Frost, Lodged Edits from last post.

July 1, we hiked from Goddard Shelter (1625.9) to Story Spring Shelter (1634.8). We hiked to Manchester Center, VT (1655.9).

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.” ~  Brene Brown June 24 we hike from Mark Noepel Shelter (1587.8) in the rain to Bascom Lodge (1591.1) for a night of jazz and 3 course meal.
