More time spent in our local mountains: wildflowers, alpine climbs, a cirque below the high summits, and a chance to look down on our desert home nearly 7,000 feet below. (w @ramblinghemlock )
@ramblinghemlock and I did a quick overnight camping and hiking trip at 10k feet. Cool weather, plenty of wildflowers, and a favorite place to escape the summer heat of Moab.
Apparently, I’m a “grandfather from Austin” in an AI slop video titled 'When Karens Go Off-Trail in Arches National Park – Lives Lost" about the dangers of Delicate Arch.
Above the desert floor, revisiting places I hadn't seen in years, I found the land and its history enduring, indifferent to the ebbs and flows of time.
@ramblinghemlock and I finally had schedules that lined up as I settled into my new job.
