“Summer of Les” Update

If one were to walk into my mom’s backyard and look about twenty miles directly to the north, the above hill formation is what they’d see. Here in Helena, the locals refer to it as the “sleeping giant”. Only the top half is shown in the picture above, but you can distinctly make out the upper torso and facial features of a man laying on his back. When I was a kid, I hiked with some family friends up to the top of the portion that looks like a nose. The hike trail, naturally, is called “pickin’ the nose”. Good stuff.

Just can’t get that sort of outdoor entertainment in Brew City. Next Tuesday, my folks and I are heading to the hills for some good ol’ fashioned camping. Mom bought me some hiking boots and a fishing pole as an early birthday present yesterday, and I eagerly look forward to frying up some delicious Montana rainbow trout come Wednesday. Mmmmm good!

Anyhoo, see y’all in July.

Or not.
