Wednesday we walked. Stocking firewood in a local backcountry cabin was our charge. Snow fell as we bucked up deadfall around the cabin and stacked it in the dry subterranean. An exercise in good backcountry karma, for whoever stays in between it’s four walls, or just stop’s by to warm shivering limbs by the fire.
