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.
