I'm sure this wildsnow.com sticker helped to keep some of our local high schoolers/backcountry "dawn patrollers" (even squeezing some turns in before class) company on their bike trip down the length of Idaho. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30263412&id=1603597803 Southern Idaho around Bruneau Dunes and the Nevada border might have had them conjuring up images of Kootenay cold smoke from this winter and dreams about next. It's all about the mountains and the dreams and the poetry, right? Rene Daumal: "One climbs, one sees." You wonderfully celebrate place and the imagination of it and being in it.

Driving was a dangerous proposition as I peered googly eyed out the side windows and made corrections to stay on course while my new bride gave me somewhat searing looks. On my commute to work I constantly peer at the peaks and think what line I need to investigate. Perhaps this is the mountaineer's cross to bear...?
