And now it's my turn to show off. Remember the big stone beehive we passed in the morning? Well it was still beckoning to me when we passed in the late afternoon. Sometimes discretion feels like the cowardly part of valor.
I had to climb it. It looked steep but doable.
The goats disagreed about the steep part. "Easy peasy!" they said.
Just below here my nerve almost failed me. It was a looong way to the bottom and my boots were slipping. So I took them off.
Barefootin' it.
Whew! I made it! I wasn't sure I wanted to look down. I was sitting on a very narrow perch with a very steep drop on three sides. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to climb down. Gravity can sometimes be too helpful in these cases, and I possess a lot more gravitational pull than I once did.
Was it worth it? Well, not so much for the view or for the hoodoo. It was cool, but no cooler up close than it was from the ground. What made it worthwhile was the ability to from now on say, "I've been up there," and to satisfy my curiosity. They say curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
The goats wondered what the big deal was about.
