Yes.

And, um, yeah, you know them, of course.

Uh, and I thought, you know, I'm just gonna pitch the idea and, uh, and they, they loved the idea.

And in 2010, I went back for four months just to start, uh, linking up trails, discovering trails.

Um, so that's where the Pamir Trail, the foundation of the Pamir Trail started, uh, in that time, you know, when I was doing research for the, for the guidebook.

Uh, but I always like trail connections and, and basically, you know, trying to find ways to create a trail network that people can have a, a choice.

You know, they can hop from one section of the trail to another, and so they can basically design their own, uh, trail.

What do you do to, to, to make peace with your situation?
