Where the Heavens Caress the Earth - a photo on Flickriver

To reach this unfathomable beauty I left my home that is 50 miles to the west at an elevation of 200 feet above sea level, arrived at a trailhead (Tatoosh North, 161) and climbed 2,900 ft in three miles to stand at 5,775 feet to ogle a volcano that stands at 14,410 ft with a prominence ranked third in the US and greater than even K2, (13,210 ft vs 13,189) The tallest peak in my home state of Missouri....Taum Sauk Mountain, 1,772 feet with a prominence of .....512 feet....
I've climbed higher to get to a bar and if you've been to Seattle you know I'm not joking. :)

In summation I'll leave you with the opening lyrics to one of the many great John Denver songs, Rocky Mountain High, which I'm convinced that he wrote for me, he was just a wee bit off to the East and I was 25:

'He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door..........'
