Last week Kit and I hiked into the heart of the Olympic Mountains. The picture is Marmot Pass. The effort made me feel young for a day.

My seventy-one-year-old body didn’t feel young the day after, though. But the aches and pains were a small price to pay for a trip in time.

We can recapture experiences with careful planning. Just be careful to prepare beforehand and not overdo it. We passed on the summit of Buckhorn Mountain.
