Day Four of our journey had arrived. Wow. We had just experienced an incredible three days of hiking. This adventure we had put together was unfolding nicely. But this was Day Four...........and we had the Osceola's & Owl's Head on the agenda.
These are 2 nice hikes in their own rite, but in the Winter conditions on this day, they would test us. Not just physically, but mentally too. We were greeted by heavy grey skies in the morning, and the knowledge of a wintry mix about to descend on us.
"Breath Deep - The Gathering Gloom"
You think you hear demons
I think we are the demons
In this place, where the images are born
You remember your childhood
In fiery sequences
And the sun goes down
You fall to your knees
You embrace the storm
You no longer care if it's cold or if it's warm
You live for the danger
Like your passion & your anger
You don't let go
You like to be twisted by the force
You like to be shaken by the wind
In this game that you play with God
You've been warned to retreat
You take it to the limit
When the winds come up
You'd rather be wrapped up
In the arms of a storm
Crazy men and crazy women
In the storm
And the sun goes down
Chasing down the demons
