Storm Watch Butte Telling myself I won't go there

Maybe @Redbird???

In a few long days, he realized it. This desert was a bustling place. He had yet to interact with coyotes, wolves, foxes, and many who made their home here. Calahan never intended to; he only watched from a distance, continuing his journey.

As night enveloped the sunset, he took shelter in a nook on a butte. The climb was grueling but nothing he wasn't used to.

There comes a point in many long journeys where one starts to doubt the leap they have taken. Is it even worth it? Am I chasing a foolish dream?

And yet, there was no going back.
