Better knowing us...

Hi. How. Are. Ya.
This will be the first of several installments where you, will get to know us better. Also, get used to the Simpsons' quotes.

Lets start with our Indian spirit guide. Drew, I say spirit instead of trail guide because well... I don't think he has ever looked at the maps for longer than 5min. Of course if he is guiding us via the use of his grand Indian heritage I guess he wouldn't really need to. And for those who have not figured it out yet, I speak of the Native American kind of Indian. Not the kind ol' C Squared thought he found.

Drew is a mysterious being. Many hours he has spent wandering the land. Crossing towns by foot, at hours where it is only him to enjoy the starry silence. I suspect it is because of how he is in touch with the natural world around us that we keep running into strange animals at the ends of our journeys. Perhaps he has known their spirits were there the whole time, he has been following them as they showed us the way to our destination. And once they knew we were safe the rest of us saw them take a more earthly form. Be it of the armadillo of Winter's Pond or The Great White Dog of Bald Knob. Drew has let them guide us safely from trail head to trail head.

As I muse to myself about this, and out loud as it were, I tend to come to the realization that I was right to call him our Spirit Guide. It seems to be synonymous with Trail Guide. He does not need the maps as I do for the Spirits are helping him.
