In the Vicinity of James Peak

 I'll be the first to admit that hike up the road - with all its boulders and holes - was not my happy place.


But you know what? It lead us to the most beautiful little valley, dotted with campers, hikers and fishermen enjoying a Saturday under the patchy sky, surrounded by flowers. 

I loved that watery byways crossed the trail and tested our gear. 



I loved that Maddie (Sue's dog) was stupid-happy to be spying squirrels and chipmunks... but mostly just to be included.

And I loved picnicking on a rock over a lake, the sound of gushing waterfalls nearby.





And that road that we went back down? Turns out it's amazing training for uneven surfaces and downhill stability practice. Perhaps just what I needed. 

The universe provides!
