I would give my eye teeth to live in a place where I could look out my window and see a mountain in all of her majesty. There is something about a mountain that is awesome and inspiring. I will do an article on my stay there one of these times so that both of you and others can share that experience. I'm glad this brought some fond memories, Renie. Mt. Ranier is a beauty, but from the pictures of the Alps I imagine them to be even more awe-inspiring.
Mountains do hold a spirit one can feel.
Mary, you even understand, being by mountains some of the time. I suggest they will never be the same. Mountains are powerful and giving at the same time. You felt it was just the mountain and you. I imagine some climbers feel that way.
