I’ll add to this and its going to sound weird . I have skied most of my life but very high altitudes . At the top it can be 13k ft . I just sit there and listen and smell .
It’s rare to get that high and not have to blast down the hill because of weather and get to a hospitable altitude of 9 k ft .
But up there I always think how many people in the world are at this altitude right now ?
On one rare clear day I had the great chance of hearing nothing and I mean nothing but wind and it blowing through the pines . The next shock was only the smell of snow/water pines .
People and their ways have a scent from food being cooked to just everything .
It was a rare treat and is burnt in my mind forever .

Not weird but wonderful! My smeller doesn’t work well anymore because allergies now almost year round. Should move to beach or place with no flowering plants or trees, I suppose! Smells so more than just molecules drifting up nostrils. Not only important for enjoyment of food, evokes memories and associations, serves as first warning certain dangers. Enjoy for me! Pumpkin pie and Christmas trees coming up...

Del Norte, I am jealous. I Absolutely love that part of Colorado. I have friends over the mountain to the west in Lake City.
that article mentions two “quiet parks” on earth, and unknowingly, I have been to both. The sound of silence is a beautiful thing.Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.

Wow, I hope there is an Amazon in the future...

It’s an awful big place, and the hair-on-Fire crowd that carry on about the burning of the rain forest aren’t exactly honest and forthcoming about that. Are there fires in The amazon? Oh yeah, but it’s also a rain forest. Fires don’t do well in equatorial jungles, and even cleared lands don’t tend to stay cleared easily. To hear the climate change religionistas tell it, all you can see in south/Central America is smoke and ash. That’s not true. I saw evidence of exactly one fire while I was there, and it wasn’t even all that large. Cattle farmers had cleared timber and sold it, then cleared the land for grazing. They were just burning stumps and brush piles/tops. It wasn’t like they napalmed 20,000 acres and put up a barb wire fence and parachuted cattle in. I can’t hate on folks for wanting to eat beef.

It wasn't always so quiet around here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Gar...ze_of_eruption
Some wood that got covered up and later the node was spalled out and left in place for future use.

This is a medium size one of the half dozen recovered. For me it was an awesome discovery.Last edited by Rio Del Norte; 10-24-2019, 08:20 PM.
