Sometimes it’s just right. This morning’s hike was supposed to be with another friend on a different trail, but when they canceled last minute I headed up toward NCAR with Cricket the endlessly effervescent pup. I randomly bumped into my friend Swavek. (What are the chances? If he’d reached that trail junction 15 seconds earlier we would have missed each other). We hatched a plan to run a trail relay next year. Just need to find 8 more people for our 10 person team!
I love the Boulder mountain trails under fresh snow. Not many people out this morning – maybe it was too cold. But for me and Cricket and Swavek it was just right.
