Mount Townsend 2/10/2015

Mount Townsend 6,260ft.

Decided to head up to Mt Townsend on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, we got a late start so we planned on having to use our headlamps and hoped that some of the cloud coverage would lift at the summit. Although, you gain a little over 3,000 feet, but I never felt like it was too tough or strenuous. There was too much beauty surrounding me to even care if the hike was challenging.  I was in pure awe of the water streaming off the rocks and the beautiful view of the trees and mountains.

As I got to the top, everything that I thought mattered just went away. And as I got to the top and the mountains began to peer out of the clouds, I realized that nothing was forever and this moment was the only thing that mattered. I had been lost for so many years, I may have been lost until this very moment. I have not been hiking for long, but it is something that I always wanted to do. Now I am doing it and I could not imagine my life without my adventures.  There are so many fears and faults that I have leave behind in these moments.  

This may sound dumb to some people but I could never feel alone in these moments. The feeling that I get when I am in these moments is something I never want to lose. I love every moment and the way it makes me feel.

Life without limits.
