Today had some serious ups and downs.. meaning several dozen trips up tot he attic and back to haul packed up xmas decorations up there. I also took advantage of the cleaning mood to clean out 2 drawers worth of accumulated treasure in my dresser.. So many great memories.. pictures. letters,tschotkeis, tools, business cards and  lots of bad pot 🙂 . One of my favorite finds was this small Italian – English dictionary.. one of the 4 small leather-bound foreign dictionaries we had in our house growing up. These four books had some sort of magic power !  I also found one of the memory bracelets we made for Sam. I wore this every day for several years until it broke..

After all that cleaning and climbing we decided to take a longer hike. We dropped a car at the Banforth ridge lot, then drove back to the Catamount train. Then we bushwhacked up a peak we call 2360  up to the ponds a the top, then followsd a ridge down the other side towards the bamforth ridge. It was only 4 miles.. but it was basically straight up then straight down.. Quite a nice workout !

Nice day !

nite all, nite sam
