A Sunrise With A View

Larry and I climbed Badger Mountain at sunrise this morning and it was a gorgeous morning, cool and crisp and perfect both for climbing as well as for taking in the fantastic view of the Tri-Cities and Columbia River. The Badger Mountain hiking trails are indeed worth preserving and I am hoping that the efforts of the "Friends of Badger Mountain" are successful in acquiring this area for the enjoyment of future generations. If not, then land developers will undoubtedly be constructing $750,000 homes on "view lots" all over this area within a few years. I think that it is time that I joined in assisting this group in this worthy endeavour and would encourage any of my fellow Tri-City hiking friends to do likewise. If you have not taken the opportunity to hike this area then you should in the near future and make up your own mind as to the importance of preserving this land for outdoor enthusiasts...vertu svalur, y'all!
