![]() I love the world, and especially do I love the external eye and the shining heart of pure heart-to-heart mornings in a sane eternity, with love and security, but at this time in my life I'm making myself sick to find the wild form that can grow with my wild heart... because I KNOW MY HEART DOES GROW... SALUD! HEALTH! JOY! WRITE ME SOON! LOOK FORWARD TO A HUGE JOY IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE - I see it in yr cards, in the sky. Someday I am going to be a hermit in the woods... very soon now I'll visit my site. Kerouac Morning y'all,
It is a seriously grey day up top! The high yesterday reached 42 degrees. The overnight low got down to 37 degrees. It was 42 degrees and mostly cloudy (like, need a headlamp to get from my cabin to the kitchen! cloudy!) at 7am observation. The mountain received .35" of liquid precipitation, mostly coming overnight. It's due to be a grey, rainy day - so unique and characteristic of the park. Don't let some clouds keep you in the valley! These are some of the best days to experience this national treasure - no crowds, eerieness and mystery around every corner. Is that a tree trunk or a bear? You decide. Much thanks to Bill and Kathy for dropping off some much appreciated home baked cookies! They were delightful after my long hike yesterday! Also, best of luck to all my mountain loving brothers and sisters running the North Face Endurance Challenge out in SF today! Your dedication is a constant source of inspiration!

JP, you are already a part-time hermit in the woods---in the winter on top of beautiful Mt. Leconte. I somewhat envy your solitude, quiet, and lovely mountain scenery that you are priviledged to enjoy. Thank you for your thoughtful postings.
