    Catherine...
    Hello angel. Jeez, your hair is really long now. It looks fantastic.
    You're a good friend and hiking partner. It was very kind of you to change your plans to help Kim and Steve make the most of their trip. I know you've dealt with altitude sickness yourself. It does suck. I've struggled through it a couple of times myself. I trust Kim was okay once you all got back to civilization.
    The Winds are magnificent. I understand why you you love it so much. Personally I would have to get in the waters of those pristine mountain lakes. Ice cold or not.
    Great video today sweetheart. Awesome scenery. Beautiful wildflowers. And the wildlife in the closing scenes, especially the moose calf. Outstanding!!
    Safe travels Cat. Have fun always.
    Love you. 🌹 Randy. 🎼

    Square Top is ominous. I remember traveling on that washboard dirt road and coming around the bend seeing the first glimpse of it. It’s been many many moons since I was there. ( the early 90s) I hope it isn’t overly developed.

    I have found most of the time when a plan goes awry, the adventure is usually unforgettable and more enjoyable, forcing you to do something you wouldn’t have done if you stuck to your plan. Doing it with friends makes it even endearing.

    SO gorgeous here! Square top reminds me of half dome. I have only backpacked once, from Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley. I loved it so much. Very special to be where no car can go. But today I would not do this hike unless there was a hot spring as the destination. Well, I cannot do this hike but I would try if there were a hot spring. And there are TONS where you are!

    I haven't watched much of this yet however I did see the Big Sandy Trailhead. After being on a NOLS trip in the Winds for a month straight, coming down to the Big Sandy Trailhead and seeing cars was the most surreal experience. It's amazing how fast humans adapt to new normals. I'm gonna watch this now, I'm sure it'll be unpredictable as the Winds usually are.

    Altitude sickness has brought the staunchist adventurer to their knees. Ive had it once in Peru, in the Andes and it truly is no joke. Maybe a new rule for you Flatlanders out there.....get acclimated Before going up in altitude. Just sayin. Beautiful video/scenery, as always. Glad you all used mature judgement, went with the flow and arrived home safe and sound. Happy Anniversary.

    I was testing out some new gear one year and got altitude sickness. Fell face first into some rock , smashed my phone in my hand. Looked like I got in a fight and lost LOL. I felt some symptoms but didn't think that much of it.... Good thing I was not standing near a cliff. Got to be careful and pay attention to what your body is telling you.
