Individual nutrients don’t add up to a meal.
Another morning of working the trees. Much more limb work today …
Thinking a lot more about a week up here with friends, runners, scouts (hmm … that might be the biggest problem actually). Runs up to Mosquito, Kite Lake and the Decalibron, over to Brandon’s place in the 2nd highest city (and back). Play with saws, chain saws, burn stuff. Maybe some fishing, messing around with various contraptions up here that I have yet to figure out (like the outdoor solar shower), the old generator ... Little brew action, some music. Of course there is no real electricity there. Or actual plumbing. Just sayin’ …
13 miles, heading up the Mosquito Pass road. Turned around at the junction (Y, just about 11k feet). Things started clear, but clouds moving, and by the turn around I was in a good snow squall. I think the round trip from the cabin to Mosquito Pass would be around a marathon distance (or a touch more) with about 3500 feet of gain. All above 10k feet.
I am super out of shape for stuff up here. I was dragging up, and down, and HR was still pegging decent numbers. Mentally, I felt fine, but physically – I am the one legged man in an arse kicking contest.
JZ turns 11 on Monday, but we celebrated a bit with his grandparents. One of his gifts … I will let you figure out the rest.
The soon to be 14 year old thinking about her upcoming b-day.
That's quite a gift. So, you'll be dining on ptarmigan for the rest of your stay.
ReplyDeleteA GZ to BF run is likely to push marathon distance, not to mention 13k. Awesome. "I'm just gonna jog over and see a neighbor."
Awesome - guns and ammo for the little man!!! Sounds like some fun up in the mountains - thin air, testosterone, and FIRE!
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails, Mtnrunner ... the gift that came with that stuff was a piece from Grandpa ... I can only hope to be that good of a grandpa if such time comes around. I can't see me handing down a HR monitor.
