The trail dropped quickly, tight switchbacks through dense laurel.
The air got damp.
The light dimmed.
Within an hour, I felt like we'd stepped into a different world.
The ridge wind vanished.
The forest closed.
Everything smelled like wet leaves and earth.
Luke kept looking back like he expected to see Glenn stepping quietly behind us.
Tessa moved faster, almost frantic now, pushing through branches.
We crossed a creek, then another.
The sound of water echoed in the narrow space, making it hard to tell direction.
The ground got softer, muddier.
We started seeing old cut stumps, evidence of logging decades ago, and then fresher signs.
A length of orange survey tape tied to a branch, bright against green, like a warning.
Luke pointed.
That's recent.
Tessa's face went tight.
Yeah.
We kept going.
Then we hit a place where the trail seemed to stop, not end at a road, not fade gently.
