This is a landscape format photo of a winter scene taken along a hiking trail in a forested area. The groomed trail is about 10 feet wide with a cross country skiing track cut into the snow's surface on the right side. This provides a sense of depth as you can see the track extending in the distance. Mature deciduous trees line both sides of the trail and many of the trees are coated in snow. Some coniferous trees are also present in the area. It was a bright sunny day so, shadows can be seen on the snow covered ground.

A deep blue cloudless sky. Emerging out of the forest onto cliffs of gray and reddish brown rock speckled with light gray lichen. This part of the cliffs has a wild profusion of moss, grass, shrubs and the occasional small tree growing in a thin layer of soil across much of the rock. A weather-beaten tree with a tangle of gnarled limbs stands just to our left. A large patch of moss at its feet is an electric yellowish green in the bright sunshine. To our right the tops of tall trees peek above the edge of the cliff. Their foliage, and the foliage of the many shrubs up top are a riot of yellows, golds and oranges. The sun, offscreen top, is shining directly at us, creating a patchwork of long dark shadows, splashes of bright sunlight and rich backlit autumn foliage.

I had intended to begin hiking the Appalachian Trail for the second time in March 2025, forty-two years after my 1983 thru-hike. Then in September 2024 Hurricane Helene devastated the southern third of the Appalachian Trail.

We now have a new plan to hike more than 800 miles in 2025 while waiting for the spring of 2026 to attempt the full Appalachian Trail hike. The first of two planned hikes starts on or about April 14.

Beneath a soft blue summer sky with hazy white clouds we are atop the crest of Blue Mountain standing on a grassy overlook looking across a dense thicket of shrubs and then the treetops of the forested mountainside below. We are looking north along the wooded ridgeline of Blue Mountain into Pennsylvania, where the mountain becomes more of a mountain range, throwing out impressive spur ridges. To our left is a small wedge of the vast agricultural Cumberland Valley with farms and small villages. Straight ahead on a small plateau partway down the western slope of blue mountain is a large grassy park: Pen Mar County Park in Maryland on the Pennsylvania border.

A small cluster of bright yellow flowers and glossy green leaves is lit in a shadowy thicket of dark, tangled branches.
