What We Did for Thanksgiving

[create_destiny]

This eight-mile round-trip hike kicks my ass every time. Today was no exception. I'm thankful to be alive and in one piece.

I'm not sure how it's possible for that trail to be uphill both ways, but it was.

Those last two miles nearly killed me. Even the crackmonkey dog is wore out.

That last photo is - stunning!

Eight mile hikes always kick my ass, but at elevation, I can't do it. Thanks for the vicarious ride. :)

Nice shots, you have the gift of "seeing" and capturing the beauty that you see.

So beautiful! Don't you love the smell of ponderosa bark? I think it smells like vanilla.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I especially loved the third picture. It feels like something other than the sun is up there waiting. I am going to have to go there the next time I head to Cali.

I have yet to make that trip. Bug and I started to once (well, we were s'posed to be working, soliciting ads for The Beak, so we were dressed nice and somehow ended up on a muddy trail....that's just how we be!) But, oh, I don't know, a couple hundred yards into the trail a 6"-8" banana slug crossed our path. Slowly. But Bug is deathly, gaggingly afraid of slugs period, let alone one that's big enough to do some damage. So, yeah, we didn't make it far :)

Great Way to Spend Anyday

Once again I am jealous of the beautiful scenery you have in your "backyard". I am glad you two got out and enjoyed the Thanksgivings day. Sorry to hear about the slippery slug, I heard that slugs out west are big and dangerous!

Looks pretty.

But where, oh where, do you fall asleep after turkey consumption? Roll over on that cliff edge and that could be bad.

Lovely pics! The 2nd & 3rd are especially beautiful. One of these days, I must do this hike. :)
