This 72 word themed puzzle came together quickly as my mind wandered during a hike (see 17-Across) and it wasn’t long before I found three other theme entries that magically all ended up being 10 letters. The fourth entry — or revealer — is admittedly a little weak and that kept me from submitting it anywhere.

Still, I enjoyed putting it together and hope with each effort, my skills are improving. Although not all have been posted here yet, this is my tenth 15x15 since I started constructing again.
