Soft Covered Ancient Matriarch

Went hiking yesterday, in the Crab Orchard Range, near Brushy Mountain, in Frozen Head State Park up Panther Branch Trail by DeBord Falls and beyond.  It was cold, made bitter down between mountains following the north prong of the Flat Fork.  Betty and I are made to be on trail.  We each thrive there and flourish as one.  The Appalachian Mountains are old, Eden old, and the most serene of all the mountain ranges we have explored.  They are aesthetic in their beauty, every rock and moss, every tree and rivulet and falls, all the smells and colors and hard boned edges are perfectly matched for splendor.  Every track you make is a miss stroke, which provokes in you a care for her as a soft covered bedded ancient grandmother.  She is the grand matriarch of all ranges and we spent yesterday with her.
