Leaving the mountains...

I have epically failed at my blogging plans... Aghhhh! So often I thought about blogging... Only to forget or have a dead battery or no cell signal. 

But... The time has nearly come for me to leave the mountains... Sigh.  In just a couple days I'll head back to the city... Leaving behind this lovely view of the majestic Mt Mansfield from my little home above Sterling Pond...
Ahhhh. The pond has been a magical place.  Although it hasn't been easy, my time in the mountains has been such a blessing... I am so very glad I have been here, thankful for the guy who makes it possible, and overwhelmed by the beauty of God's creations in this wild place.

There has been some snow (three times my last week at the pond!), the mud is EVERYWHERE, and everything I own smells AWFUL... But the mountains remain my home... Although I am ready to be warm, comfy, and clean again, I will miss this place.

I am blessed.

Oh! And in other news... The Long Trail is being relocated in the Bolton Valley, to climb Stimson Mountain on its way up Mansfield. Today I spent the day with other field staff high on the ridge, cutting trail...

Good times.
