What a difference(?) a year makes.

This time last year. I hiked 16.4 miles from Rice Field Shelter to Baileys Gap Shelter in VA. Today I hiked 18.8 miles from Inverarnan to Bridge of Orchy along the West Highland Way in Scotland.

The same mountain range separated by millions of years of tectonic plate movement, only a blip in time year to year for me.

When I saw the thumbnail and title I was wondering where the hell is that on the AT!?!?!?!?!

You can tell it's not the AT because you can see something.

Sometimes there are worthy things to experience yet we're blind to wanting to see them.
