Harts Pass No. 552

A different kind of "first day" for us this year. Our little kit is off to college! SUPER hard to believe that little ol' Kit is off to Yale, but a super exciting new adventure nonetheless :)

Back to school week! A few new school supplies and perhaps a new shirt or two. Keep it simple people :)

After a terribly long stretch of heat and fire this summer, my daughter and I got extremely lucky with a respite in the mountains. We weren't quite sure of the weather... and banked more on roasting rather than freezing. That being said, it was two nights and three excellent days of amazing exploration in the hills! The smoke FINALLY cleared as we headed up Valley. The breeze kicked up and we had three glorious days of overcast skies and cool-ish temperatures. A little excitement on the trail -- and MANY many trees to climb over in some farther reaches of the loop (and actually SO much rain and coolness on the last day that we missed a LOT of incredible mountain views) but it was a 5-star excellent adventure all around :)

Another #haikucomics as inspired by the heat and smokey air. Truly. Winter please!
