Winter Wonderland

It was ten years ago on Veterans Day 2012, that my buddy Dave Herzberg and I took a drive up past Running Springs and proceeded on just short of Green Valley Lake, spending the day retracing many of the trails from our summer youth. The first snow of the season had fallen just the night before and so the entire mountain had turned into a sweet winter wonderland. Not quite like the warm, dusty summer days from half a century before when we used to wander the mountain in shorts, neckerchiefs, and tee-shirts, but it was nice. Beyond nice, actually. And although we weren't adolescents any longer, by any stretch of the imagination either, it was a wonderful reunion of two old friends, while hiking the land we still loved, and a good memory, just one of many.
