Eleventh Mountain
Yellow coffee can lids
nailed to trees through
gray duct tape squares
A worn path through ferns
vanishes in forest duff
Now and then a cut blaze
or rarely rock cairns
The way is not difficult
for those who have
no preferences
you are clearly someone who enjoys the woods,
Grew up in Northern NYS/Adirondacks. Traveled that path years ago a few times.
Live in NOVA now and concentrate on the AT along South Mtn.
Thanks for the writing – it brought back fond memories
