It’s the first Thursday of the month, otherwise known as Care and Share day, for me. I manage the Food Bank here in the Emerald City. I didn’t really aspire to that position or have it on my todo list for retirement but life has a way of recruiting us to the work that needs
The plan was to climb West Spanish Peak, (13621’) on Tuesday with a couple of friends. Four miles and about a half mile of elevation gain; most of that in the last mile, straight up a steep, gnarly, scree slope. Nothing but shattered rock and steep. It is not a place for mortals, it is
