Burgess Overlook

This picture was taken around 1990, it's Leonard and our little dog, Muffin. 
He's sitting in front of a rock cairn overlooking a mountain valley.  This was before he
got sick, these were happy days.

The only reason we have two pictures in front of the same cairn is because there was no way I was going one step closer to the edge of that mountain!  I tried to find out the elevation here to post but it's kind of an out of the way spot and not on the main highway.  I'm thinking about 7,500 ft. This was a good day.  We had a little trailer that we parked in the trees on a little park and the night before we watched a herd of elk playing in the evening light until we couldn't see them any longer.                 Diane

I'm not sure what a cairn is Diane, but I wouldn't want to be building one next to a cliff at 7,500 ft.! I wouldn't go near that edge either, so I don't blame you. Wonderful pictures and memories Diane.

I know you're missing the mountains and the memories that you made there. Those were beautiful days weren't they? xo bean


It was fun to see Muffin - and you and Leonard so young!!!

Lovely photos and memories. I've never heard of a cairn so will have to look it up. I know I wouldn't even want to look over the edge. Yikes! Hope you are having a good one. I am off to bed (way past my bedtime). :) Tammy

I'm with on the height issue!...but that is a beautiful cairn and I'd have wanted a photo too!
Memories - they are like the very best movies, running in one's head.
