A Birthday Hike






One of the first things that I wanted to do as a 27-year old was to go up a trailhead that overlooks the city of Boulder, one that I had climbed a great deal in both high school and college. I realized that I was no longer the Colorado girl that I used to be since I was the only one that didn't have my climbing equipment strapped onto my REI sport pack with my golden lab running ahead of me. It is good that I had enough sense not to completely let my time in Vietnam shape me and attempt to wear poorly-made plastic high heels up the mountain, as you would witness women doing in Vietnam.
