Some say

Hyalite
Hyalite Area at Dusk

Some say there is a thing called sleep momentum. Yea! It’s an real thing … I think. I may have the term wrong but that is not my point of mentioning it. My point is that I went right back to sleep and the dream I had continued. I know this because it started out with the same scene. The mountains at dusk from the Hyalite road.

Some say spring is a glorious time. Others disagree because just as temps get into the 70s a huge snow storm and cold snap hit. Disappointed people wonder when summer will arrive. Me? I am not shocked when its cold out, even in summer. Snow is not un-expected as well. Maybe it is because I meet up with so much. Not from spring and summer storms. From encountering it out on an adventure. On hot and nice days I am not in town BBQ-ing and soaking up rays. No! I have bike packed out-of-town and climbed until I find snow. And diversity. I feel drawn to it. So when it is time to leave the road and push my bike through three feet of snow I am actually giddy.

Some say that two is better than one. I am not going to argue with that I guess. Sometimes when I am alone on an adventure I could swear I have company. Sometimes I even break out in conversation. Some call this talking to oneself. And in my dream as I stumbled over the snow bank my friend came rolling up and dismounted.

We had to hike in from the Hyalite road to our cabin

Some say sharing an adventure makes it more fulfilling. I think that is true. Either it a spot tracking device linking you to onlookers via the inter-webs or simply having a buddy along I believe it very rewarding. Maybe that is why I share my experiences in my blog even though I tout that is an outlet.

And as my dream became more fulfilling the sunlight of a new day broke through the cabin window and woke me up.
