Despite.......

........Sydneys prediction that I would be eaten by a mountain lion , bear, wolves, bobcats or a roving Sasquatch ........or shot by a gun toting Trump supporter desperate to shoot something or someone .....I set off this morning well before first sparrows fart to go to the top of the trail to catch the first of the sun on the mountains .

And rather glad I did :-)

Ps......wasn't eaten by Sasquatch ,etc   :-)
