The Hike
Plot twist - Tuesday was NOT my last pre-band hike! It should have been, but I needed to decompress after a stressful Friday before the football game that night. It was an almost-chilly 58 degrees out. The access trail was covered in deer tracks through the needles and the gently falling yellow foliage was delightfully peaceful. I didn't spook any deer in my usual spot but there were at least a million grey squirrels to make up for it. On the back side of the loop, two GIANT limbs fell off of a nearby tree about 50 feet away from me which spooked me. I blasted off for a second lap with minimal thoughts, and was soon back at the car and making my way over to the high school for an evening of band! and football, I guess...
