Take me to the mountains, I want to get high. I started 2018 by watching the super moon rise while standing in Columbia boots strapped into my trusty snowshoes up at Artist point. January 1st wasn't that long ago but it feels like it's been too long for some reason. There is something special about the energy up there, about the feeling one feels when standing high on a mountain out in the wilderness. It's a natural high that is good medicine for the soul.

The mountains are calling but it's cold and windy and dark outside right now.

Soon, one way or another, I will get my fix of high mountain air.

I think some skiing may be on the menu in my near future.
