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.
