why get stressed about online discourse when you can instead google the current wildfire situation in your area and discover that hikers keep fuckin' walking onto trails that are specifically closed..... Because The Woods Are On Fire.
you will experience the same sharp rise in blood pressure. with none of the queer infighting!
anyway. this warning SHOULD be even less necessary than the one i gave a few weeks back about checking the summit conditions when you hike unfamiliar mountains, BUT:
IF you live in fire country.
please. Please.
do not.... go hiking.
on a trail.
that is actively on fire.
🙏🙏🙏

Odd question, but what happened to the dog that attacked Cedarheart when Wingstep was still alive? Did they kill it, or did it just run away?
It's owner caught up and got it off him - I don't think a cat would survive a dog attack otherwise sadly :<

Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach, Hiking area in Hana, Maui, Hawaii: Awesome beach area. Few people, and it’s probably due to the trail. If it rains it gets muddy. It looks like a place never touched by human being and time. Kalalau Beach is one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii..Maui is the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, at 727.2 square miles. Wikipedia

When disturbed, many millipedes release a chemical defense through tiny pores on the sides of their bodies. The chemicals vary by species, but they can have lots of fun properties like foul smell, toxicity, or causticity (no touchy). Some species even emit hydrogen cyanide.
I found this small friend under some bark in a redwood forest. It immediately coiled up into a defensive posture and released its spicy danger sauce. Since species identification often needs a close examination of the genital area, I have no idea what these chemicals do and didn't want to find out.
