Noticing how my go-to forest retreat has changed

I used to hear only birds there. Today, the sound of people often fills the air.

My friend Mark used to hike the Pine Ridge trail for solitude every Sunday. Last month, he told me he now has to stop and wait for other hikers to pass by on the narrow parts. He said the quiet he went there to find is just gone.

Yeah, tell me about it @lisa_murray. I'm probably part of the problem, huffing and puffing my way up there and ruining everyone's quiet.

Really miss how quiet it used to be.
