Trading Green for Gold



It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that we were welcoming the first signs of spring and watching what was left of last year's long winter melt away. As I sit and write this I am watching the first round of snowflakes fall. It makes me excited and a little depressed all at the same time. I am more than ready to get out on the slopes and play in the deep Cascade powder, but last year's winter was so long and cold the warmth of summer was very comforting. The one joy that Fall always brings, whether you are ready for winter or not, is the changing of the leaves. People drive for hours, if not days, to witness some of the most beautiful color schemes that nature has to offer. If you live somewhere that this happens locally, consider yourself extremely lucky and don't take it for granted.

Now's the perfect time to get your camera out (or go buy that one you've been looking at all summer) and get a few more miles out of your hiking boots before they get put away until next spring. Make sure to be very cautious of weather conditions and take lots of pictures, I'd love to see everyone's photos once you get back.
