Stories shape how we know a place. They drift between neighbors, get passed around at family tables, and carry across parks, lakes, and backroads. Some are memories, some are tall tales, and some are simply the way we make sense of where we are.

We collect these stories because they’re worth keeping. Each one adds a mark on the map, showing us where curiosity has sparked and where people have paused to share what they’ve seen or imagined. Taken together, they begin to trace a trail of connection — not just to the land, but to the people who call it home.

We’re not chasing certainty here, we’re tracing connections. Each story marks a point on the map, and the more that are shared, the clearer the picture becomes

So if you’ve got something to share, no matter how small, consider this an open invitation. What you add might just be the next clue on the path we’re all following together.
