Follow the cairns. What the heck is a cairn?
I don’t think I had even heard the word before this event.
Thanks to Mr. Wiki, a cairn is a “human-made pile of stones, often in conical form“.
Some of the many known purposes of cairns:
- mark a burial site
- summit of a mountain
- mark the path across barren terrain
- used for astronomy
- used as lighthouse-like holder for fires to guide boats
- represent places where livestock were lost
Also still looking for Garmin data from the run. If you would be willing to share it, please give a digital shout through my contact page. Thanks!
