July 10, 2011

I found this in a file titled "All I Want To Do Is Be Above The Treeline" in a folder on my laptop earlier today.

July 10, 2011

This morning I woke up on a mountain. I woke up 5,000 feet in the air, above the tree line in a small, orange tent I borrowed from Dave. The wind was blowing at a million miles an hour, and fog was rolling across the valley.

But I was so happy, sitting there eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, soaked to the bone with bugspray and sweat, hair unbrushed for nearly a week.

And that’s what I like about Coldfoot. The fact that the simplest things make me happy here.   I’ve been sleeping in a tent for seven weeks now.

There was more to it.  But that was the best bit.  The part that brought me back to what seems like just a really weird, wonderful dream of a summer.
