Thanks for the question

Thanks for your question. If you go back and reread the story, you'll see that the narrator crosses a footbridge to get to the lakeshore. Here's the passage again:

"I find the bridge, such as it is. It's a little pedestrian walkway over the water which leads to the lake shore. I cross it and find a trail along the lake's edge going off to the left, just as Isabelle described. I follow the trail through riparian forests and marshy glens as it snakes along the lakeshore."

I appreciate the close reading of my story. --Petitmort

Because you invite comments...

Maybe it's a French equivalent?

But several times, the word on the page is "crouch" when I believe you mean "crotch" :+))

Your neighbor story had the same misspelling?

Sorry. I'm loving the storyline. Just cantering along here...:+)))
