A Thursday Hike

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.
