🧵1/6 June 12, 1983: Before 6:30, as the first faint blue twilight tinged the blackness, I was on my way. The woods were at their prettiest in those fleeting moments before sunrise; I promised myself that I would try to get early starts more often. #backpacking #AppalachianTrail

We emerge from the forest into a high pasture covered with a silvery morning fog. The rising sun is peeking over the horizon, painting the scene with a rich, golden backlighting. A small herd of cattle is grazing far to our right, floating dimly in silver-gold mists which clung to the slopes and contours of the field, concealing the ground below and washing out the horizon. A few scattered tall trees rise through the mists on the edge of the field. It is an unearthly sight. It looks like cow heaven.

🧵1/4 July 5, 1983: The next mountain was Bearfence. The Appalachian Trail skirted its rough, rocky crest, but a loop trail ran over it. #backpacking #hiking #AppalachianTrail

We are standing on an outcrop of very light gray rock with patches of dark brown and light green lichen. The sky is clear but hazy and gray. Objects grow increasingly bluish and indistinct with distance. To our right, a two-lane highway that has just traversed a pass through this mountain and the next winds down and around that next mountain. The forested ridge below us block the view of that pass. Mostly forested foothills and hollows slope down into a very large valley beyond. You can barely make out the shapes of farm fields and strips of forest in the near portion of that valley. Everything past that disappears into the haze.
