Mountain Life: The Diary of Brigit Markz
Book 1 of the Brigit Markz Trilogy
Brigit is a pillar of the community, a lead teacher, and an elder. What she knows and understands, she freely passes on to others as she instructs them, is a variety of duties and responsibilities.
She was not fully prepared for the wonderment and allure of the collection.
The travel and excitement of this new place pulled her in, and the catalyst of it all was her best friend Serena, who died a few days before she departed for her first collection.

With the inception and construction of the colony ships, humanity is spreading out to the stars. The first colony is destined for Proxima Centauri, a mere four lightyears, or 30 years of travel time. The stasis tubes ensure the occupants will sleep during this travel and wake up in time to see their new home, land, and build a colony. Most of the three ships make it to their new home as scheduled, but the third ship, COLONY 3, is missing. Somewhere in the universe, they are off course, or worse. There are factions in their new space who want nothing more than destroy them; how will they survive?

Benjamin Jensen and Brad Jorgen are informed that they need to be at Euclid Beach Park in Cleveland, Ohio, at 3 AM on opening day, 1895!

With the assistance of their sons and their daughters-in-law, the issue is resolved. However, this is the first time they learn about Blue Lightning. *** OCTOBER 2026 ***
I have always been fascinated by the Star Trek: Voyager episode, The 37s. This is where they initially find a 1936 Ford pickup truck floating in space. The gas and the rust create breadcrumbs to the planet, where they find a propeller airplane emitting an S-O-S. They figure out where it came from and find people in a cold sleep, suspended animation. One of them is Amelia Earhart. We all know Voyager made it home with the assistance of a time traveling Admiral Janeway, but the development of the Quantum Slipstream drive took a few more decades. Now that it is installed in the USS Voyager-A, Admiral Janeway takes it back where her adventure began, the Delta quadrant. Along the way she meets up with the Kazon, and stops to visit with Nelix and the Talaxian colony. But ultimately, her goal is to make it to that planet, the planet with her friend, Amelia Earhart. Join the crew of Voyager-A, old and new, on this journey into their history, their journey into their future.
A thru-hike is a very long-distance hike. For example, the Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia to Maine to the tune of about 2,100 miles. Starting at one end and walking to the other is called a Thru-Hike. So, doesn’t it make sense to use hikers to perform a planetary survey on a new planet? The hikers can survey, inspect, learn, and report what they find — contracted for one planetary year. They experience something new, something extraordinary. The result is an insight into this new world and the ability to quickly create a viable colony while allowing the planet to flourish. While hiking, some of the contracted hikers develop new skills, and these advanced or enhanced, humans become a part of this new world, and the world has become a part of them. They have a connection to the planet, the creatures. It is not this group who needs to be watched, but it is their children, for they are the future of humanity.
