There was going to be a gap between two sections of steps that didn't have any since the grade was slight, but then I found this rock and thought the stretch should have three long stones with small steps between them.  A geologist friend tells me those lines are fossilized worm tunnels.

Kari seeing how they suit her step.  She approved.

An indication of how much gravel went into this job.  I also wanted to avoid cutting the roots to a nearby birch tree, especially the one angling from right to left above the top step in this picture, which should help stabilize the steep bank.
