Our annual trip to Phantom for solstice is done. Robert couldn't come because of his knee surgery, but we took the local artist in residence. Dropped the camera on Asinine Hill. Lots of ice on the Kaibab. I find that songs from My Fair Lady are a good hiking rhythm, but the words need work.
I could have hiked all day, I could have hiked all day
and still have asked for more.
I could have doffed my pack and eaten all my snacks
I've never had before
I told myself, this is a hell of a workout, no matter what my muscles might say
And when I saw that view, well, that is when I knew,
I could have hiked, hiked, hiked all day.

My winter boots are falling apart, so I need a new pair before my next trip in two weeks. Busy, busy, busy.
