As I stood at the top of the world overlooking the mountains and valleys that hold so many memories...so sweet and yet can feel so painful, I was so overwhelmingly happy to have the memories that flood this momma's heart.
A friend texted me last night. "How are you?" She asked. "I've been thinking about you. Wanna go hiking?" As a matter of fact, my "fine figure of a man" and I had already decided that today would be a good day for a hike. So we took my friend to the BCT and walked to the PCT.
Headed out this morning in search of sweat, sore muscles and a feeling of satisfaction that we had seen beautiful country, had great conversations and felt fulfillment on this very warm summer day. Once again, my "fine figure of a man" was a great tour guide, explaining all the different mountain peaks, ridges, valleys and meadows.
The day was very hot in the high mountains. It seems as though I have never been in the Marble Mountains on a 95 degree day, so that was a first. There were still areas dotted by wildflowers and tall grass. The views were amazing.
