TRAILMANJII — THE STARTING RIDDLE

Where winter still grips the cedar shade,
And daylight lingers before the climb is made,
Seek the number born of ten plus seven,
When the year is young, and begins to leaven.

Begin when the sun has climbed nine rings high,
Yet before it rules the southern sky.
When morning’s still cool and shadows are long,
That is the hour the trail calls strong.

Solve the time.
Solve the day.
Only then does TRAILMANJII begin its way.
