A thing of beauty is enjoyed forever. Keats
Morning y'all,
It's a beautiful, clear day up top. The high yesterday reached 45 degrees. The overnight low 34 degrees. It was 36 degrees and clear at 7am observation. The mountain received no new precipitation and there is very little ice remaining on the ground. Traction is not yet necessary, just a sense of caution around some of the upper slopes. Get out and enjoy the day, it's too beautiful to be stuck in the mall!

I had an absolutely lovely day yesterday. It felt as though the mountain welcomed me back with open arms. I spent the majority of the morning getting settled in my cabin... although I got distracted from time to time re-reading one of my favorite books. Around 1 o'clock, the sun became too kind and made me restless. I ran down Alum and hiked back up, enjoying the late fall sunshine and gentle temperatures. By the time I had made it back up, I was able to relax for a little bit before sunset. It was another stunning show, just my friends and I on the mountain enjoying the first private viewing at Cliff Tops of the season. It isn't hard to be grateful up here. This life is the best life.
Much thanks to my dear friends Guy & Janice! Thanksgiving on the mountain wouldn't be the same without you two!
