With my morning coffee I have some websites I visit, "news", weather, science, and photo blogs that feature natural images that calm my soul. You've seen 'em. Waterfalls, beaches, trees, camp fires, fishing and the like.
Today's visuals had a lot of images that featured old trails hewn directly out of the earth, with rock steps and weaving up the side of a hill with trees and such like.
That brought back a figment of a memory of a story that had a trading party traversing similar trails while carrying the trade goods in huge back packs.
A small caravan of humans, maybe 12 to 20 people, not slaves IIRC, but carrying high value goods on their backs.
Were there bandits and conflicts? I cannot remember. But it is a strong memory of these trails.
Anyone else have a similar memory of some tale here on SOL?
Thanks
