Frosty morning on the FJ&G rail trail.
I really enjoyed today’s location—it was essentially my boyhood backyard. Growing up, the FJ&G Railroad was still running. Well, maybe not bustling, but alive enough to send one slow train rumbling past each day: an eastbound run in the morning, followed by the westbound return later on. I spent countless hours walking those ties, exploring the woods, and wandering the creeks that ran behind the house. Today, the tracks have been converted into the FJ&G Rail Trail, making it easy to step right back into that familiar terrain with a camera in hand.
The thermometer read around 25 degrees at sunrise, bringing another thick blanket of frost and crisp skim ice to the morning. It was a cold start, but another rewarding walk finding November in places I’ve known my whole life.
