Well, its been a couple of months since I hiked Badger Mountain.
Big mistake! I forgot what I’ve been missing: 
The awesome view, the exhilaration of exercise induced endorphins, the peace, the perspectives, the blessings of good health and the wonderful place we live.
I am so glad the wind is blowing, that’s what got me hiking this morning. I’ve been spending so much time swimming and bike riding that I missed out on hiking. Bike riding in the wind is miserable and the weather change has put an end to my swimming season so I looked at the sunrise time today and decided to be at the top when the enveloping warmth of the sun peaked over the horizon.
