Breathe, breathe in the air
Don’t be afraid to care
Leave but don’t leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

    We started off at white wolfe. Took “The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne” to Glen Aulin. Then to May Lake, Top of Mount Hoffman. From there down to the valley. It was a 10 day trip! And a banana split never tasted better once we got to Curry Village :)

    Good to see you back, again, Mar ;-)
    I’ve been looking for a new post.
    This one is perfectly named because when I think of you,
    it is in a place like this; hiking and climbing.
    I’d looked past the Pink Floyd and by the time I’d finished
    reading it, realized that it sounded like their song.
    They’re truly a classic
    and so are you, Mar.
    Keep sending back your experiences for those of us who can’t
    actually be there with you.
    It’s been great to share in part of your life
    and in the fabulous photographs that you’ve sent back
    for me to project myself into.
    To feel the rocks under your heavy boots.
    Smell the evergreens.
    See the vistas that run a hundred miles at a time.
    The cold clear water
    as clean and potable as any
    has ever been.
    As your pix show over and over, Mar-ster~
    YOU ROCK!
    buddy

    Mar, you never told me you like Pink Floyd.

    You know what would be waaaay cool? Pink Floyd performing in the field in front of El Capitan on a lovely summer night.

    The music.

    The light show.

    The reverb off the granite mountains.

    The drugs I would be smoking…
