Ice has closed the Parkway almost everywhere and in every direction, but I did manage to get to the Headquarters and Visitors’ Center (where I had never been) and follow a trail that leads from there to the MST, which I then followed for about fifteen feet before turning around. Cold, gray, overcast, the complexion of winter as I remember it from my youth. The advantage of going early and cold was that what was clearly mud yesterday had frozen solid, walkable. The mud immortalized the tread of the shoes of the last one who had passed.
J says that Childhood in the Milky Way is $400 on Amazon. I could pay off my house, then, with the copies I have on the shelf.
