Supercedes

Two hours. One hour.

Forty-five

minutes.

This works.

No. Not like that.

Supersedes previous. Earlier revisions retained for history.

Shortest route.

Most summits. Least driving.

Best option.

Correction.

Correction. Correction. Correction. I measured the wrong thing.

Crow-flight distance—

meaningless here.

The road goes round.

The water stays where it is.

Save that one.

Drop it.

Bring it back.

It survives the filter.

Eight. Five. Seven. Six plus three.

Twenty-seven kilometres.

Thirty-two. Forty-two— No. That

wasn't the rule.

One long day is fine.

A week of long days is not.

Not distance—

load.

Not remoteness— variety. Not shortest— steep,

not long.

Not east— not necessarily.

Not west— unless—

unless unless

unless unless

The problem was the week.

Fifty kilometres. Five thousand metres.

Dead-end road. No morning drive.

There.

Best option. Best option.

Best option. Best—

For now.

Earlier revisions

kept for history.

We weren't getting lost.

We were learning

what the question was.

Supersedes previous.
