This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels – round and around, and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved.

A recent post presenting a photo slideshow for my Appalachian Trail 2012 trip inspired me to go back and do the same for my 1988 journey. I needed to add many more captions, and that involved going back to trail journals and guidebooks for research.
