WELL, I'M NOT GRATEFUL FOR THIS

WE'LL BE RISING EARLY THURSDAY, 9 mile, 3500' dirt climb to take the annual group photo.  I've seen a Burley full of coffee and donuts hauled up and pack of lunatics hauling down.  But, I've never seen...

... a happier group.

Some years are balmy, others bitter cold.  

It doesn't seem to matter.

We still go.

But, why?

Partly to humblebrag at the family dinner about our exploits, partly to see old friendly faces...

... mainly out of tradition.

At some point, someone will suggest we go down Joplin vs the easy road up.  it's a nasty trail, plenty of options to hesitate...

... hesitation is never good.

If they sell it hard enough, I might cave.  It'll take an extra 30 minutes, and be 10 times the adventure...

... I'm getting weak just thinking about it.

And, that character flaw is one I'm not grateful for...

... neither is Surfergirl.
