August 28--Emigrant Lake
There is no cavalry coming over the ridge to save the people from massed capital. Certainly not the Democrats, whose self-caged left wing now finds its marginalized encampments under lockdown by their own president’s hostile patrols, while the GOP and its Tea Party irregulars howl from the circling darkness. That’s what happens when progressives maneuver themselves onto the same side of the battlefield as Goldman Sachs, as they did with abandon in 2007-08, deliriously fighting their way into a cul-de-sac in which they are now surrounded.

Well, a little bit of the world before getting into Saturday's hike.
Only four us for this hike. The weather must have been turning people away. It was windy and clouds have rolled in. Snow is even expected, and I think we did see some really light snow falling during the hike, though with all the wind it was hard to tell if it was snow or debris. I remember that on hot days this is a nice hike, though obviously something caused me to retire it from my repertoire. Is it the drive? Possibly. But maybe it's the elevation. We start out higher with this one than where my other hikes end, and it was suggested that a touch of altitude sickness was wearing me out. I guess it keeps me in shape for the gourmet hike next weekend. I think the weather is supposed to turn warm again.
