… from whence cometh my help (or is that hope) … I can never remember. But here are some more photos from our adventure yesterday.

Hairpin curve in road … note the lack of guardrails. We noted this lack on a plethora of occasions.

Overlooking this lake I was inspired to write:
Sitting on a mountainside overlooking Lake Dillon – listening to the wind rustling through the pines. It’s both soothing and lonely. I imagine how it might have sounded night and day; endless days, endless nights — no music, no television, no entertainment …
hard work, bitter words, sour tears, sick children, dead husbands and the endless wind for companionship whispering through the pines which stand stark against the spring snow as a three day growth of beard — spiky and jagged.
