Hiking

A steel plaque—barely larger than a foot—placed just like that on the forest floor. Sometimes a fresh flower lies beside it. Or a candle burns.

This modest memorial plaque is for Jan Carton, who died in 2013 while jogging. He died of heart failure at this location at the age of 47.
A place to pause for a moment.
