outside playing again...

as some of you know aspen trees are my favorite and leaving boulder was hard because boulder mountain has the largest growth of aspen trees in the world. coming here i thought they would have some, but oh no, they are hard to be found, pine trees everywhere i look but aspen few and far in between. HOWEVER there is this one spot down at corral creek where i like to bike (see above) and camp, usually this spot is always taken, but a few nights ago when i rolled into camp after 11:00 pm i was surprised that no one was at my favorite spot, so under the stars i slept and opened my eyes in the morning to this..... LOVELY i think
this is the top of mt baldy, its a 3300 foot elevation gain in 5.2 miles and (by the way its sun valley ski resorts mountain) i really had no desire to hike it other then to say "yes i have hiked baldy" it was stormy and cold by the time i got to the top. i made it with four minutes to spare to get a ride down, no not on the chair lift, due to the lightning and thunder, but in the work truck. the last mile up i was pretty sure they wouldn't let me take the chair lift (and i didn't want to) i was hoping they would let me take the work truck down, which they did, so now i can say "yes i have hiked baldy, and never again" there are much better things to hike, but i did it and that is that.
on sunday (yes mom AFTER church) i went for a nice scenic drive and found a place called big creek falls, so i jumped out of the truck took off the moccasin's and headed up stream to find this wonderful place, i had it to myself, did some meditation and yoga at the top of the falls
a full shot, k well that was my weekend
peace, love, and kombucha (by the way today is bottling and brewing day)
