Francis Carter with a New Friend

not much to say about carter… i’ve been here so many times and in so many different seasons. it’s a perfect length, it’s near to home, and it’s quite lovely.

this gave us rather a fright at first, however, which i guess was the intention. someone stuffed the legs on a pair of jeans and positioned some shoes in such a way as to look as though a person either crawled under the rock or got squished by the rock. whatever. it was creepy to see out of the corner of your eye as you hike by.
