Some of the most exciting moments in my life have involved the travel of mountains. There were the clouds enveloping the Grand Tetons in Wyoming when Dad took us all to Yellowstone from Blackfoot, Idaho during my childhood.
There was the time Jerry Landry and I rode down the 281 returning from liberty to the ship from a trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway and came alongside a cliff on a two lane road with a sheer drop of several hundred feet separated from us by a 3 foot stone wall.
Mountains are a function of geologic changes in the Earth, many taking eons to undertake. They are spectacular formations by and large and I enjoy traveling them when I can.
This is International Mountain Day. Go ride down a mountainside if you can !
