What? That's just the half way point @Carol 83 and at HIGH altitude for us.

This was with my wife old phone, but if you look real close, the stairs stop at the top of the falls or across from the top flat rock
just left of centre.
Here's a look at my wife's legs after we got back down. Never minding walking an uphill grade for what seemed to be 3/4 a mile
from the parking lot. Hey it was all downhill from there aye? She still has RLS.
Just looking at it scares the living crap out of me. No wonder you got her such a nice ring, after making her do that...........

Like this, @leatherback ?
Yeah, that is what I have been seeing for the last days. Car frozen this morning. All day temps around 34F. Most of the day outside, at a sale of trees (Someone passed away a few weeks ago) and helping a friend putting his heavy trees and benches under cover. Frozen and soaked. Brr. Fireplace + beer. Warming up.

Only two days with temperatures between 0 and -1°.

Very sunny, no rain.

Here's the weather forecast for the next few days :


Another link, more optimistic (temperatures), but often more accurate about clouds/rain :


I check both every day, put a finger in my mouth and rise it to the sky, and then decide if I will do anything at all, or maybe nothing much.

Here's a look at

I remember my ex-wife : we climbed mountains in the Pyreneans, that was hard, but so rewarding. Watched the wild poneys (potoks) and the beautiful landscape.

The problem was getting back down the slopes : it's so hard when you have to try and "brake down" in slopes covered with rocks. The top of the thighs, and the rest of the leg really suffer. What's more, for white people like us, sunbuns are adding to the suffering.

She was standing atop of a slope with rocks that would go down if she would just stay "tetanized" and jump. And her muscles were "tetanized" because of fear, fatigue, lack of confidence.

We went up to show her the path, relax her muscles and rest in the "plain". I was knackered myself, with the top of my thighs sunburnt and hard as concrete.

One of my sons now lives in the Pyreneans, and is a jolly good "walker". He's waiting for January 20th to getback to his job, but still goes "hillwalking" as my Scots friends would say in the 1970s, and thinks himself an artist meanwhile 🤤

Hmmm blurry, If you were that drunk, would you eat the correct one?

The family and I made a trip to the Redwood forest in Northern California a few years ago. We got a back country permit and trekked out to see Hyperion (tallest tree in the world, my profile pic and the first attached here). We also did a horseback ride through another section of forest. It was a really awesome and inspirational trip. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t been.
