A reminder that while the day to day news cycle is often negative, positive changes are happening all around us.

For example: In 2021, the Blue Mountains Trail quietly opened in Northeast Oregon. It meanders through the Strawberry, Blue, and Wallowa Mountains from John Day to Wallowa Lake.

It's 530 miles, and only 7 people have completed it end-to-end.

There's been very little news coverage of such an incredible new amenity.
