Happy Monday – Lighter fare in the form of great quotes on life, great illustrations, humor, and occasionally, art.

Today’s Happy Monday post is four pics of places great places in my life.  Many adventures were to be had in these wild places, many moments of both happiness and joy. I hope they bring to you some of the joy they bring to me on this happy Monday!

Bear Tooth Spire on the Sierra crest, from Long Lake.  Trip July 2018

Yosemite Valley, the scene of too many climbing and hiking adventures to count!

White Cloud Peaks in central Idaho, 2016.  Great trip with Joe Gore and family. Sunrise from our campsite.

Lake Helen, Big Horn Range, Wyoming, 2017 and again in 2021.  The most recent sally forth into this wilderness was with a mix of high school guys and adults. It was amazing, complete with many moose, some high peak hijinks, and some good, quiet conversations with our God and each other.
