Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet.

Good morning,

24 Hour temperature range: High 48   Low 26

I woke well rested. Yesterday’s hike down Alum Cave Trail and up Trillium Gap Trail guaranteed me a quality night of sleep. My pack full of vegetables only added to the guarantee. Looking out the window toward the East, I saw speckled cloud flakes in the sky. I had a feeling that this would be a special sunrise. I hopped out of bed and made for the kitchen.

Standing in the kitchen, I looked over the bag of coffee beans sitting on the shelf. That was the only attention they would receive. My break from caffeine steered me for the tea. Looking outside, I realized that I didn’t have time for either option. I grabbed my tripod and made for the overlook…

The rest was history.

Onward,
Seth
