The Start

What it means to walk the woods

"Walking the woods" means that sometimes you pay close attention to where
you put your feet. Sometimes it means you are going to fall, and you have
to figure out where your foot is going so that you will take the fall with
the least harm. Sometimes it means walking in so
much rain that even with Maritime rain gear you get soaked to the bone, and
you slosh with every step because your shoes and socks are so wet they
simply give interesting physics to the wetness issue. Sometimes it means
sliding on spring ice, watching the water run underneath you and moving to
the
harder surfaces hoping you don't fall in. It means being whipped by
hurricane winds so strong you can barely stand up as you fight to get back
to the car.
