Maybe the fact that they spelled "Trolley" wrong should have been a signal that the venture was doomed.

Dawn breaks over Chiselbury Camp.
Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.
I like abandoned school because the pastel painted walls, the cool drininking fountains, the bathrooms where places were delightfully deranged, the smily face gold stars everywhere, and the gum under the formica coated desk tops. But when schools are abandoned you can hear the laughter in the halls but its only a ghost. You can smell the pecil dust falling from the sharpener but its only decay. School is out for the summer but come fall no one returns. Bells no longer ring and children no longer sing, but the voices are forver cemented in every footstep and finger print
The community most likely was named after Porcupine Butte. Porcupine has been noted for its unusual place name, and for its designation as the unofficial capital of the unrecognized Republic of Lakotah.

The main reason to come to Cocuy is for the trekking and climbing opportunities that this high altitude wilderness offers. Within the climbing community its considered one of the last secret destination of the America’s. We came with intention to complete two days of trekking and if possible scale one of the two 5000m peaks. After obtaining our permit and additional information from the national park office in Cocuy, we decided to tackle the snow draped Pan de Azúcar 5200m it sits at the southern end of the park . This trek would also offer great views of the strange looking El Púlpito del Diablo – The Devils Pulpit sitting to the left of the peak it’s a perfect granite cube of rock. We weren’t sure whether we would be able to scale the last 200m of the peak because ropes and crampons were needed, but we were adamant we could make it to the snow line.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

As part of the feature in the Riverboat Discovery Cruise, the ship stops along the banks at Trailbreaker Kennels - home and kennels of the late four-time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher.
