Messeges on read.

No response.

Do they even know you.

Did they ever care.

You already know the answer.

It's like movie that plays one scene over and over inside your mind.

You wonder where you ever fit in. that equation.

So much time spent.

So much work put in.

No your at the cross roads like a tumble weed blowing in the wind.

Every day it hurts a little less.

You've gotten rid of the constant reminders.

You've ripped off you blinders and embraced the light.

A new chance.

Bold new possibilities.

No more gray.

No more hayes.

It had been over a month since my last hike, and I hadn’t realized that fact until long after I planned a day in which I would hike two mountains with Firetowers. Whoops. I also had my flu shot the day before, so I was kind of drained on this hike. You live, you learn, right? 

I completed this hike with Greg and Jason, both from my hiking group. I also totally forgot to get a picture of the firetower when I was up there. 

The trail seemed much longer than it actually was. I believe at one point it was set up to be a nature trail with markers along the path, but there weren’t any guides. So, I didn’t really know what was at each marker. 

If you plan to go on this hike there is a split in the path about 3/4 of the way to the summit. You want to go left on the path that passes this dilapidated little house. I don’t know where the other path goes, so it might be a loop. I didn’t see any signs of it looped around at the top however. 

There is the cabin where the person keeping watch for fires would stay. I am not sure if it is still in use. While we Greg and I were in the firetower, Jason went down and peered in the windows. He said there was some really old stuff in there and some really new stuff. 

I love the view from the firetower, and I love the color scheme of the mountains on a sunny day. It’s just a mental escape for me from everything else I have going on while adulting. 

I think it’s also really awesome that you can see the shadows of the clouds on the mountains.
