Start 4.5 miles from home (less than a mile from Jen’s house). Hike seven miles. Is it a roller coaster? Yes it is.

Seven mile.

Here is the story in pictures.

Park the truck on Jen’s road.

Foundation (not the Asimov one)

Orange sprite.

Lunch spot off the trail

Up to this point, we saw 7 people (one walked by while we were eating lunch…going our way). 6 Were going the other way.

Lunch WILL be here!

We were passed by an old man with a stick. He was on his way up and then back down.

Jack and I stayed in this shelter in the rain when he was 5

The roller coaster ends at Bear’s Den. Shew!

Bear’s Den feet of the orange sprite…which are purple?!

Home field advantage (monastery from the hill).

Improvising to modern dance was a challenge and was a great deal of fun too.

Who are these wolves?

Pooh grows oysters and writes music for movies.

Jen is a dancer currently choreographing a piece based on wolves. The lead in sounds are by a Colorado wolf pack, including a wolf who used to live with Jen and is now back in the wilds.

Gina and I are improvising music along with the dance. We will perform the resulting piece at Glen Echo park on November 13th.
