If you look at the world map, you won’t see any white space anymore – we (humans) have been everywhere. The time of the great explorers is now but an exciting story in a book. What is left is personal discovery – just because some other people have been there before, doesn’t mean that it’s not worth for me to see. Up here in my neck of the woods everything is in smaller scale of course, I gravely doubt we any had any explorers here at all. Only the early settlers who endured the harsh environment and made a living out of the forest.
So today I was, if not an explorer, then a re-explorer anyway. We found a place which didn’t look like it’s been visited by humans in many years. Plenty of traces of log driving activity, but when the trucks took over the log piles the people deserted these waterways. The only tracks we found belonged to moose and a bear.
It was a difficult day for photography, so all I have is a few pictures for memories. But a poor day for photography was a great day for discovery!
