Went on the last decent weather bike ride of the year on the Waterline Road. It's a trail that starts on the north side of the peaks (opposite of Flag) and traverses around the the south side. I haven't been on this trail for a few years, hence I've forgotten how amazing it is up there. Only one wreck of note (just a few scabs on the leg) and several really cool pics. Peath Out

Kindof a weird photo, but the little clearing down there is called Lockett Meadow. An incredibly beautiful place to go when the aspens have color. It's definitely the unofficial safe-haven for those who have ingested mushrooms or some type of hallucinogenic chemical. After taking these pics, I realized the brightness and everything needs a bit of adjustment, but way off in the distance is the Navajo Reservation, which is almost completely immersed with smoke from controlled forest burns. From where I stood, the contrast was amazing, but as always, my novice photography skills shine through.

A retrospective look at the season which was.
There's a cold southeasterly breeze that not only aids the colorization of leaves, but blows them off the trees quicker than usual. This year has been different than all others, though I always take on a feeling of familiarity when I first feel the breeze. Sure, it's a very traditionally festive time of year looming ahead, full of holidays, basketball games mixed with important football games, a little less summer brews and more seasonal drinks such as say...Bailey's, and of course, riding snow. But, when the breeze first hits my face, I can't help but experience a sentimental emotion when I must face the realization of the summer (and early fall) coming to a completion. I know, it's a pretty pathetic method of frankly stating that I'm going to miss disc golf, although I am much more of a summer person rather than winter. Another phenomenal summer season is over, and the Old Mund's Highway Disc Golf Association (OMHDGA) has been through some memorable highs, and unfortunately, a few regrettable lows. The record was challenged multiple times, though I'm slightly relieved to announce that my -12 round still stands as the golden mark. We said goodbye to an old friend (Nate Vaca) and hello to a new one (Curtis), had a few injuries here and there, not to mention having to weather a few large storms. All factors culminating into a fantastic, memorable summer. Next year if we can manage to get a few visitors from Utah, S. Korea, and a reunion tour with Nate Vaca, I'm sure we can rewrite the book of a good disc golf summer. But this eminent breeze tells a story of the past several months; the many experiences within them; as well as the friends I was able to experience them with. Vaya Con Dios, Nate.
