It was called Blue Horizons Trail on Mount Desert Island. It was easy to see the trail because previous people&#8217;s footsteps had worn a path. But at one point the trail petered out. I looked around a bit and finally realized that it proceeded over these six stepping stones. It was fun stepping across them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_6207.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_6207.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_6207.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_6207-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are in a winter lull.
