I&#8217;m dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-attachment-id=\"18359\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mywalkabout.net\/?attachment_id=18359\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?fit=4032%2C2268&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4032,2268\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;My Walkabout&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;367&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1686386746&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;My Walkabout&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?fit=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?resize=600%2C338&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HipstamaticPhoto-708104746.466028.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-regular-font-size wp-elements-ed10f67e07df75822ce3a28cc07419dd wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eighteen miles later<\/strong> I stumble back to the original cabin along this trail.
