Cairns serve many purposes: on a trail, they guide, indicating turns and distances. By the roadside they indicate safe travel. Left on mountaintops, they mark achievements or moments of illumination. They fulfill the universal desire to say, “I was here!”
Those who write about places construct a cairn of a different sort. We provide guides, offer suggestions, and share insights. We share tips we’ve gleaned from others and from our own experience. We were there.
I’m planning to write about places I’ve been, some in the recent past, some further back, each post its own cairn.
Thanks for joining me on the trail.
