To the High Country

Sunrise over the mountain

I arose at 4:50 this morning, and Becca and I got an extra-early start on our daily trek.  We were off the mountain and back to the car by 8:20.  We needed to get home to finish packing for a much-anticipated trip to the high country.  Now, in the early afternoon, we're sitting up in the Sacramento Mountains where the temperature will be at least fifteen degrees cooler than in the low desert, and it will be 65F tonight.  That's windows-open sleeping weather.

Always ahead of the pack
