An old map leads me to an overgrown path
ferns, tall grass, shrubs
no one's walked here for years
Looks like there's a new track
cut through the trees further up the slope
built to take the logging trucks and machinery
This path is fine
a little slow at times
good views of the river

Getting Out
The Bus Driver
with the Santa hat
directed us to the stop
on the flyover
for more choice
of routes into town
The Lad
half of a young couple
recommended we take the path
down the slope to the main road
where, he said, virtually every bus
would take us straight to the shops
Going Back
we hadn't a clue
so when we saw a taxi
stopped at the lights
we clambered in the back
and let him sort it out
