Beaver Creek November 29, 1997

I don't remember

It was just a 

normal hike

We walked to

the weir

We walked to

the car

It was just a 

normal hike

And I don't 

remember much

Chips!

Queen Anne/Navajo Loop 7/24/97

The queen awaits

your arrival.

She waits to

hear your voice.

She sends her

guards to fetch you.

For you to do

what she wants

unhappily she waits,

as you trudge

down the trail.

As she looks down upon

you, you think I

do not wish to

serve her.  Run!

In and out of

holes in rocks

winding your way

up the trail, up

through wall

street up, up, up

never stopping to

 catch your breath,

running all the

way, the guards

far behind you

making their 

way up wall

street look up at

you and sigh a

sigh of lose, and

you stop to catch

your breath.

Lower Calf Creek Falls Trail 7/23/97

Sun, it burns our

backs and burns

our heads.  We

walk, sweating and

tired, to the falls.

Oh, but the falls

are gorgeous.  The

water rushing over

the glimmering rocks.

The water so 

cool and refreshing. 

Then, after the

cool swim there 

is the horrible

walk back.
