Radical Joy Weekend

Story & Experience
Gretchen and I had a Radical Joy weekend and I thought you should know. We camped in an area that was truly devastated. In the photo below you can see the Henderson Mine, the tailings pond, and the tailings. The mine is still operating and is a ginormous scar on the Earth. In the foreground you can see that we are hiking through a clear cut area. What you can’t see is that the hills are all brown and gray from the beetle. Hillsides are eroded and it looks like a nuclear bomb went off. 8 Miles to the South of this photo is the Sugarloaf Fire which has been burning since June and is expected to burn through August. We didn’t make anything specific on the earth, but we talked about Radical Joy and you and definitely made a lot of beauty in the area in the form of our fun and joy with each other.
