Hike up – Granite, body

15-second video: Cross-Country practice?

To strive, to learn, and not to yield.

Outward Bound motto

Driving below the 35mph speed limit i am startled while rounding a bend.

Why?

A Grizzly is “jogging” down the road.

i brake. Stop. Grab iPhone and zoom in.

Gently taking foot off the brake, i ‘crawl’ down the deserted road.

And because it’s 620am, i start recording.

Surprised how far the Bear ‘jogs’ before pulling off the road.

Rising Sun Day 4, body

Three hikers at the trail head
820am…Up we go, for an ambitious summit to Pollock Mountain and Bishops Cap.

Generally, your self-imposed limits aren’t limits. They just seem so.

Nice, easy two-mile (1600’ gain) ascent.

Heading down. Short-sleeve tee. Gentle wind. Warm temps.

Back where i started 3.25 hours later.

Moved from fearing Grizzlies to respecting Grizzlies.
