this morning #1460.

this morning, we were trying to follow the map that her dad had drawn up but, as we looked at what stood before us, it was clear that he’d left out some key details. i grabbed the map out of her hands. scanned it to confirm. nope. definitely no mountain anywhere on this damn map. we had no choice. we either had to go over the mountain or around it. no two ways about it. actually, scratch that. there were only two ways. it looked like there was a path off to the east. if we head that way, we’ll likely add at least a few hours to today’s trek. still, trying to go over the mountain will be treacherous. i definitely don’t want to meet my maker on a mountaintop. she agreed. didn’t want to either. we went east.
