Have you ever been driving down the road and wanted to pull over to climb whatever peak you happen to see? I did exactly that today. I took a long drive into the mountains with a friend. We saw a mountain, pulled over, and started straight up. we had a blast. We scrabmled over rocks, stopped to take in scenic vistas and enjoy the scent of pine trees, plowed though snow up to our waist, and scaled bare rock faces. We praised God, enjoyed his creation, and had a very fun, pure good time. I felt like I was a kid again. You know that kid; the one who wants to climb every tree he sees. I just let me Id go wild.
I have cuts and bruises to show for it, and I have to check to make sure I didn’t rip any clothing. I also lugged a camera, so I’ll post some photos in the next few days.
Andrew: Yes I have climbed a mountain. Do you know Thunder Mountain near Silver Lake – I did it with 16 little Camp Fire Girls following behind me. We played in the snow at the top, saw a marvelous view and yes we also received bumps and scratches. Can you believe your Grandmother ever did that? Those were the days!!! This was before I realized what a lovely, impressive world God had created!!!!
