Frontier Stories

But If Not

Slithering down the rain-soaked trail with cleats digging into the mud, I struggle to keep my balance as my wet skirt slaps my calves. The trails are a good workout on dry days, but on wet ones, they’re a whole new experience. I glance ahead at the locals hiking confidently. They are as accustomed to these trails as we are to sidewalks. Mud and rain have little effect on their sure-footed strides.
