Beartooth Snowfields
It’s something, you know.
On a searing hot August day,
driving away from town,
weaving amongst traffic,
then sporadic towns,
farms and ranches,
towards the mountains.
A lost stop at the gas station,
perhaps a treat of licorice,
and then driving;
pavement turns to gravel,
gravel to a parking lot,
parking lot to a trail,
trail to a faint suggestion of a path.
Up,
up,
up.
The air thins, cools, crisps,
and with the heat and overload still pulsing,
a snowfield.
Vast,
pitted,
shadowed,
iced,
and
calm.

*These lead ropes are the first of many. With the trials and success that come in learning, there may by minor flaws, a wide variety of lengths, but all made with good will and an excitement to keep perfecting my craft. They are offered at an introductory sale price to accommodate for the variances.*
