Another winter outing, this time to the top of Lazy Mountain. I still can’t for the life of me figure out why it is called that because it definitely isn’t a lazy climb! This is to the first point, which everyone knows as the “picnic table”. You can quite the view from up here. This quickly became our favorite winter spot- close to town, a good work out and do able within a decent amount of time. I’ve never measured but I think it probably takes 1.5 hours to ascend and 5 minutes (yes, FIVE) to get back down. I throw on my snowpants and slide down the whole way. Incredibly terrifying and thrilling! Even more so on a sled and in the dark with headlamps! We had one run in with a moose up there this winter which was a little scary.

Welcome
A girl grows up. She becomes a city dweller. She fights for a seat on the bus and a good parking spot. She misses the moutains. And open space. She packs up and hits the road. She sees the States. And Canada. She arrives in Alaska. The mountains are big and the sky is blue. She decides to stay. A blog is born.Categories
