| On the trail |
The mornings are beautiful and cool here, so we are taking
advantage of our jet lag by getting out early.
The ‘trails’ are a big deal in the mountains here, good maps, and each
starts at a ‘trail head’. Our first - close to town so a short bike ride from the
house - gave us a very tempting glimpse of what is to come. We are at 5 ½ thousand feet of altitude here,
so gaining a bit more after only 3 days of adjustment caused some puffing, but
the amazing views and heady pine scents draw you on. Also the promise of a bear round the next
corner! Reasonably commonly sighted,
according to friendly fellow walkers, but too busy eating at this time of year
(loading up for hibernation) to bother much about us. Just don’t run away or advance towards. Hope that’s enough advice.
