And on the Florida Trail, the trail covered in new growth every year.  Stuff grows fast and lush here.

Your analogy is perfect weathercarrot! Working on trails is just like that.

The view renewed in every season.
The tread changed with every step.
The path washed in every rain storm.
And a new adventure around every corner.
