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.

Peaceful easy feeling sunset (h/t Jack Tempchin, Glenn Frey). New Britain Reservoir, Southington, Connecticut. April 15, 2020, 6:54 PM.

A deep blue sky with puffy white clouds partially silhouetted by the sun, which is setting behind a low wooded ridge on the far shore of a lake. A soft breeze is gently rippling the lake, creating a long wavy streak of golden orange reflecting the sun. That streak ends in a small patch of water grasses a few feet offshore, but the nearest ripples catch shifting blobs of that golden light. We are sitting on a flattish gray rock slightly curved in front at the near edge of the lake.

July 4, 1983: The first half-mile from the hut this morning climbed along the crest of the ridge forming the western rim of the ravine. This led to an interesting summit called Blackrock. It rose above the wooded ridge crest, a huge, barren mound of gray boulders smeared liberally with streaks of green paint.
