New word
I learned a great word today: Cairn.
Some use it as a marker or gravestone made of a tower of stacks stones - others who are about to die or die trying something (explorers mostly) built a Cairn and put all their maps and notes in there for the next person to come along and learn from it. Even knowing that they would have to return for it - the value of their job and findings were the most important thing. Well trained men.
