Forest roads and quiet mornings
We had no plan, which turned out to be the plan. A slow drive on a forest road, no signal on the phone, and a forest that smelled like rain even though it had not rained.
At 7 a.m. the light comes through the trees in columns. You can hear your own footsteps on the needle-covered road. We stopped three times for no reason at all, just to look.
Some trips are about a destination. This one was about the hour between waking up and fully waking up, when the world is still quiet and you are allowed to be slow.
