Welcome to Trail Notes

Trail Notes is a field journal from a Business Math classroom. Every stop on the map is a post: a lesson that worked, one that didn't, and whatever I was thinking about on the walk in between. Start at the trailhead and follow the red line, or jump in anywhere.

Reading the Map

Stops are numbered in the order they were written. The green label names the post, the black square shows its topic, and the date sits beside it the way an elevation would. Hover over a stop for a preview. Select it to read the full brochure.

Trail Ratings

Each trail lists its read time the way a trailhead lists mileage. Short walks take a few minutes; the long climbs take fifteen. Bring water.

Safety and Regulations

Trails are steep in places and opinions are strong. Please do feed the curiosity. Leave no question behind.
