the road less traveled

I took the path less traveled on my hike this morning. And I learned that sometimes, such as when the trails are icy and snowpacked, taking the road less traveled means you have to work a lot harder, you progress more slowly but get tired faster, and you end up backtracking and looking for a more traveled route.

Which as the revered Mr. Frost mentioned, does indeed make all the difference, but not in a way that I'm excited about at the moment. And that's all I have to say for now.
