Sometimes it's not about Burning Man....

Today was one of those days.

Sometimes you just gotta ride to the top of the tallest mountain you can find and look out over your kingdom.

Nice Kingdom you've got there TT. Mine's not nearly so tall.

Looks like you had a lovely day.

Then passed right by- And never knew.”

It looks beautiful up there TT120, and a fine place to collect one's thoughts.

The view was stunning from up there. My POS camera did not do it justice. The guy that was manning the tower actually invited us up to take pics and ask questions. Seems he welcomes visitors as he doesn't get many people up there. They close this tower down around October for the winter season. The wind was howling and it was quite loud.

Also, I think this is around Elliots neck of the woods.

I didn't know these lookouts were still manned. Excellent!
