Up on the mountain

Kadizzle had not been up on the Four Peaks for a few years, but with a huge bucksaw on his shoulder he was headed up the trail.  The mission was to clear the trail of large trees that had fallen across the trail.  You can see for almost a hundred miles in every direction from the peaks.  It was surprising how quickly the old fashioned saw could go through a tree.  Rules and senseless regulations prohibit chainsaws in the Wilderness.  Certainly we want the wilderness to be quiet and peaceful, but sometimes common sense should prevail.

It was a nice day.  Several young people passed us working on the trail.   Talking to them later in the day it was amazing how quickly they sprinted to the very top of the peaks.  It is a very difficult climb and one this old man may never make.

Nested out here in the desert our little group is self isolating.  Hard to find a nicer place to hole up.  In the background Pence is on NPR with his suck up personality talking about the virus.  What a sad man who cannot see what a dolt is Trump is.  Pence is assuring us we can trust Trump.  How stupid can we be?
