It is literally the least I can do. #blackouttuesday
Mama needed a break - and I got one! 31 hours during which I was responsible for no one but myself, not even a dog. It was glorious. I'm working on a trip report, but in the meantime here's a pic from sunrise yesterday morning. I'm back home now, sunburned, tired... yet strangely refreshed.
Let the good times roll! Off for a quick overnight. General plan is to ride my bike to the trailhead, transfer everything from my panniers to my backpack, and then hike to an alpine meadow and camp for the night. I'm excited to sneak away for a bit and grateful to @tom.dabbles for handling the homeschooling while I'm gone. ❤🏡➡️🚵‍♀️➡️🚶‍♀️➡️🏕➡️😊
Family bike ride. I sure do love these two, and treasure our leisurely family bike rides where we stop every 3 minutes to eat a snack and drink water, and play endless mind-numbing games to keep Rowan occupied and prevent her from complaining about how she's bored and tired, while simultaneously trying to convince her that shifting into an easier gear will be less tiring, ask me how I know, it's because it's literally my job to help people ride bikes, but why would you listen to me I'm just your mom and obviously I know nothing. Ah, these lovely family bike rides. #keepingitreal
Driveway Butte: it's a desolate place, still recovering from the Needle Creek Fire. Getting to the top requires tromping across an ugly burn, where the wind whistles loudly through the charred trees, and muddy creek crossings fill your shoes with silt. Half-way through the burn, you hit snow, just deep enough to obscure the trail and cover the fallen trees underneath, but not firm enough to prevent you from postholing every third step. And the summit is not really a summit at all - just a round brown knob, an ugly stepsister surrounded by much more beautiful snow-covered peaks. All of which keeps the crowds away and makes for a great socially distant day in the local hills. ❤
The views from this overlook are always phenomenal, but they are even more awesome when you know you're going to be flying down that hairpin turn on your bike in just a few minutes. 😍🚵‍♀️ Wheeeeeee!
