I loved the photo of the Taos lights. Megafauna? Don’t know that word. Jungle-ish? You seem to make the most of solo hiking and hiking with friends. Hiking with good friends would be my choice. They’d need to be good!
Charismatic megafauna is a term for things like lions and tigers and bears (oh my) mega= large, and fauna =animal. Megafauna that is not charismatic would be like giant pythons and crocodiles. Not really warm and cuddly. Although I’m not sure I would cuddle with lions, tigers, or bears either.
As to hiking with friends or not, I love hiking alone, and I love hiking with my friends, too. Since it’s kind of hard to find people that will hike 21 miles in a day it’s probably good that I don’t mind going solo.
And my favorite picture of that post is really the starry night, but to each his own. Again, thanks for the comment and take care.
