Father/Son Hike

A decade ago my son Grant and I hiked up Lazy Mt. in Palmer Alaska. He was 22, and I 71. It took us 4 hours. Yesterday we summited Lazy Mt. together once again. It took us nearly 6 hours.

Either the trail somehow got longer, or a senior physiological hiking factor was responsible . . . a 4 hour hike 10 years ago that now takes 6 hours means I’m adding 12 minutes/yr. to my mountain climbs. Guess it’s time to scratch Everest off my bucket list 😊

It was worth every huff and puff and slip and slide (me, not Grant) to finally summit and gaze out together over creation in awesome wonder. Here’s a few pics of what was ours to share. Getting ole ain’t all bad 😊

“He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, Who turns dawn into darkness and treads on the heights of the earth – the Lord God Almighty is His Name.”– Amos 4:13

Keep Looking Up ^ . . . His Best is Yet to Come!

    He has truly blessed me beyond measure and I can’t wait to hike Heaven’s mountain ranges with Jesus and His other redeemed ragamuffins 😇
