Here is the start of a new story for you. Why is this ring in the middle of this rock in the middle of nowhere. Why is it so worn in one spot.
Michael Varga:
Did you intend to send a pic?
Kim Vogel:
Give it some time, I’m in the middle of Alaska. The internet consists of squirrels carrying things along the ground.
Michael Varga:
Looks kinda creepy
Kim Vogel:
That is where your story comes in!!
Michael Varga:
Where are you? How far into the wilderness?
Kim Vogel:
About 1 mile into Falls Creek trail, near Indian Alaska. The first mile of the trail is really steep along side a fast running stream.

It Has Been Two Weeks
It has been two weeks,
That I have suffered through.
It has been two weeks,
That I never knew,
How much I would miss her,
How much I would cry,
The hole that I feel,
My tears never dry.
It has been two weeks.
