March 2026: what changed
Not written up yet
Third trip since the fire. Notes on what has reopened on the west side, what the south shore feels like now, and two new places on the list.
The trip happened. The write up has not. It will go here rather than anywhere else, and the List is already updated from it.
What already moved on the List
These entries carry this trip’s dates, whatever the write up eventually says.
