Friend Christy includ­ed me in her annu­al Win­ter Sol­stice hike this morn­ing. Sev­en of us met at the end of Tun­nel Road short­ly after six for a hike to a secret spot of Christy’s near Inspi­ra­tion Point. It was won­der­ful walk­ing along as the day com­menced and the light unfold­ed. We arrived at our des­ti­na­tion in time to see the sun crest the moun­tain and there­after share some wish­es for the new year while drink­ing the warm Ore­gon Chai Christy had packed up the hill.
