Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

July is now my April

The crack runs in cycles. Last year in Arizona things ramped up in February, and started peaking in late March. In Montana, the deal has been set back four months. But it is still alive.

July has been good to me.

The trip ended up more towards training and less towards recreation and recovery, but that’s how it goes. A damn good adventure in the bag.

Larry sent out this photo from after this past week’s Thursday Night Ride. Too bad I have yet another thursday evening class, and will be missing out on the fun.

I cooked up some venison pot roast for dinner this evening. Protein feast needed.
Anything besides tenderloin needs attention paid to its dry leanness. This one got marinated in a cherry and hefewiezen brine for 72 hours, then cooked in an enamel crock at 250 for five hours. The vessel is crucial for the veggies. If the meat and onions take up all the room on the bottom, the potatoes and carrots get steamed rather than boiled, which brought out the farm-fresh carrots nicely.
To summer!

    …I just looked at the map… did you hike from Logan Pass to Stoney Indian Lake in a day and then to Many Glacier via Belly River? Good Lord!
