Deserves another look

Bleary eyed drive to Superior, downing coffee. Take the exit, under the freeway, back along railroad tracks, and into the forest. Forty minutes later the road makes a big turn to the right, and the Heart Lake Trail goes to the left. It's spring, so the water is high -- it takes a bit to figure how to cross the first creek, but that done, the trail is wide and easy. Four miles tick by as the forest grows and recedes, and soon you can tell you are getting somewhere. This time, that also means I've hiked into a layer of cloud. Depressions in the snow hint at the direction -- but is it. I navigate by GPS, the clouds thicker, light snow falling.

The trees fall away, and now the world is white on white. It's totally silent. Five minutes, ten. The sky darkens slightly, and the clouds are lifting -- just enough so I can see the lake is slushy but still frozen. Then the clouds pull in again and the view is lost.
