Ever had those days when your house feels like a shrinking box and the fog is as thick as last night’s gravy? That was us in Missoula, a real #missoulaisashithole day. Mo and I needed a break from the gloom, and she was all for a spontaneous trip.
We hopped into our old Element, as worn as my bike, and headed to the Bitterroot, aiming for Kootenai Creek Trailhead. Here’s our trail link if you fancy a go: Ride with GPS Trip.
I’m mixed about slush. It’s like wading through a giant Slurpee, and wet socks? No thanks. But Mo, she’s different, finding beauty in the dreary.
Then, something cool happened. In the dull winter scene, a tree stood out, decorated with an ornament. Mo, the photographer, snapped it up. She could win gold for finding cheer in the wild.
It’s small things like this that change a hike. That lone ornament was like a nod from Nature to keep finding joy, however small.
So, cheers to discovering your own wild ornament. It’s there, even on the slushiest paths. Just remember, adventures are better with a Mo by your side.
On this day in history, let’s take a delightful journey through time
