Once more I was up before 5 AM this morning.. but for a really good reason. Diane and I had decided to climb Bolton mountain and check out the sunrise. we left home about 5:20 wiht the dogs and mmugs of tea and coffee.. It was 37 degrees at the bottom of the mountain. but by the time we got to the top about an hour later there was thick frost everywhere/ The wind was still so it wasn’t too, too cold just cold enough that we had to keep moving..

 

by the time we made the top, the sky was beginning to lighten..

 

the view from the fire tower was breathtaking. The valley  fog wiped out any signs of human inhabitation.. it was back to the days before people

 

i put a samstone on the railing as I always do.. then we turned and made the quick trip down.. I was home and on the phone for my first meeting at 7:30.. not bad for 2 hours !

 

ok.. because I was up at 5.. i can hardly keep y eyes open.. im heading to sleep !

nite all. nite sam
