Mountain Tops and other places....

People sometimes want to know what we do on the top of the mountain. Our answers thus far have not been very interesting, we admit. Staring, gazing, thinking and pondering do not stir great emotions from people who read the correspondence. We understand that fully. We selected a few pictures together with some background to give you an alternate perspective of what goes on ‘up there’.





Crocodile Rock

Waiting for Mincha "Prey"; or who remembers Elton?





The Gatekeeper.
It does not pay that well but someone has to close down the mountain at the end of the day. We suggested that they introduce a remote access control system. We are awaiting a reply.




Wives Getaway
Strangely enough, cheese and wine parties occur. We rushed off before the end not wanting to be responsible for carrying the women down the mountain.



GPS
It’s nice to know that should the electronic system fail, there is a reliable backup.



The Singer
I have been warned not to return to Shul until either : my singing improves or I undertake to just listen. Jenni is so desperate that she went scouting for a teacher. We think she found one at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. After a few practice notes, even the ‘teacher’ was discouraged, unfortunately


Nobody Home
I lost my boots, the bottle is nearly empty, my bladder is full and nobody is home. I suppose next time we should call ahead.



El Siesta-At 12,500 feet, a man sneaks in forty winks. Truth be told, he can hardly move a muscle.





We noticed this unusual pairing of flags in the middle of ‘nowhere’—left us with an uplifting feeling


Attack Hound
Notice the dog carries its own provisions. Every man (and his dog) for himself.
