Climbing on the Parkway

No this is not a flat stretch. Beth is climbing.

There are two things you will absolutely do on the parkway, climb and descend. The former will last at least 7 times longer than the latter. So when climbing you have plenty of time to reflect on the bugs, the scenery, your job, your life, the salamanders (bright orange), the flowers, the trees, your body, what to eat next, the coming descent, nothing at all (what jb usually thinks about), whatever.
