Meanderings Of An Abject Fool

My mouth feels very good especially considering being on the road with my road naivety but all has turned out extremely well.

Woke as usual and did a solid food thing all groovy. Started early with short hike a did yesterday still beautiful but no surprises. Wouldn’t know till later I should have stopped.

Groovy day in 70’s perfect day perhaps to extend my 2nd hike. Been doing less so blood don’t pump so much. Since mouth feeling groovy I decided to test her out.

Went to the namesake Crater Lake looked around saw plenty of paved well marked routes and took one. Oops!!!

Lotsa vistas all within easy hops to parking lot this is how the trail reels you in.

So far not bad quite nice really plenty of pictures because it that easygoing and

serene.

I’m beginning to feel like I’m a treadmill to up. Thanks to reality I get change in scenery or I probably would be. I’m getting close to the halfway point as I’m starting to see and say hello to those on the way down.

There’s a family up there and the son does me a favor. He’s making snowballs and ask for a pelting. He obliged. Why ask for that? When will I get the chance to get hit by snowballs in June again?

Back down the mountain again when I see others coming up I feign politeness and step aside. Not for the thanks but for the rest. Selfishness confused for decency it works for me.

I can now tell getting close to down. Much like ever park I’ve been in the closer you get to bottom civilization starts creeping in.

On way to car on trail saw a couple getting ready to go from concrete to gravel. She was wearing a sundress and high heel boots! Either better or more foolish than myself. Back to camp shower shave and a wholesome dinner of macaroni salad and of course sleep…the sleep of the exhausted.
