Well, the truth be known more like mash potato's on hard toast which BTW was great skiing albeit a bit wet and soggy as we descended back down into the Trench of Highway 50........dreaming of sunshine and warm granite.

Woke up Easter Sunday to a hard rain and an empty house, my lovely wife a critical care nurse was working overtime like all angels. Thinking of my boys of Easter's past laughing in sunshine frantically collecting eggs before their lives took them off to Bozeman and SLC got me feeling lonely. Even my buddy Gus felt a bit down and out.

Sometime after noon it lightens up and then comes a few quick blasts of sunshine! Hmmm, the driveway looks dry so I wonder if our local crag might be as well? I decide to stop feeling sorry for yourself and drive out to check it out. The old oak in route will soon leaf out.

Gathering up my gear on top I think back over the 30+ years I've been coming here slowly wearing down and smoothing out this stone, just like that old man river, who just keeps rolling on.
