With some major work commitments taken care of, Dave and I had the opportunity (and weather) to sneak away to Shelf Road for a long weekend. I really looked for a relaxing time and some good sleep!
I have ALWAYS been a great sleeper, but the last couple of weeks this has not been the case. I've gone to bed only to think think think all night long. Working, thinking, wondering, worrying - and never really sleeping. It was getting really old.The second night, it finally came. Sleep. Oh how we take it for granted!! For that reason alone, this trip was a major success!
We arrived on Friday morning, set up the pop-up and headed to Sand Gulch. As is usually the case, I've no idea what we climbed. Dave did five routes, I did fewer as the foot demanded.
My foot has become very demanding as of late. I am ready to remove it with an axe, but I've not done so yet. A trip to the doctor a few weeks ago told me what I already knew - surgery is imminent. Gack. This epic is scheduled to happen over the holiday break in Dec/Jan. I'm not looking forward to it, but I sure am looking forward to walking again without squealing.
At Shelf, we ran into some friends - Steve, Mia and their daughter Julia. Great visiting with them. Dave highjacked Julia's bike for a while. Julia was fine with it as she highjacked Pente the cat for the weekend.
It was beautiful there, the climbing was fun, the relaxation was plenty. Life is grand!
