You kick snow off the running board, breath steaming in the late-afternoon cold, and the forest exhales around you: pines lean low under fresh snow and open fells push the horizon into clean lines. The machines rumble, an impatient companion that lets you cross river flats and frozen marshes faster than any boot track could allow.
