Long Weekend Thoughts…

September 4, 2008

I thought being a spectator would be easy… I found I am a better racer than I am a spectator…

 

I always thought I was good at directions… both Saturday and Sunday proved me wrong on that…

 

I never knew it was possible to make a routine Class 2 climb up Missouri Mountain into a more difficult Class 3 and some Class 4… It is…

 

I did find that my truck does really good across rivers and four wheeling…

 

I thought hiking some 14ers would be a good distraction from my wrist… It would have been if I didn’t fall on it…

 

I finally listened to all the signs and decided to bag the 14er trip and head down to the cabin to relax for the rest of the long weekend…

 

There is no better entertainment than watching two guys attempt to kite board on their butts across the Sand Dunes and then seeing a very happy dude prancing down the Dunes playing “The Sound of Music” in his head… Since I really don’t think I can retell this story, Matt, you are obviously the only one that will laugh…

 

No matter how many times I have visited the old cabin near the property, there is always something new to find, or learn, which adds to the mysterious story… like you could buy a urine bag for both males and females back in the day for about $2 from Ward… (Matt was the one that found that, ask him about it…)

 

I found that spending a relaxing long weekend with great company, watching two full beautiful rainbows form after it rained, listening to great music and cuddling while watching documentaries beats trying to conquer 6 14ers… I would repeat it any weekend….
