The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
That's an interesting construction for an oft-used ladder. The 2x4 treads are vertical so that shoes rest on an edge instead of a flat. Then again, I'm guessing that most people using this trail are wearing hiking boots, built to handle such surfaces without pain to the foot. This really is a cool trail, Jeff, shifting from woods to grottos to quiet ponds like this. It's like we're on the trail ourselves.
