Got up around five this morning and wanted to do some hiking up in the
Cascades around Snoqualmie Pass Area. Got on the trail head around seven and
started my climb up with my dog Zap. I was expecting to do around eleven  miles
round trip.

There were no cars at the trail head .The fog/mist was all around me as I
started up. I startled a few deer and several chipmunks; even a squirrel as  day
break started to light up the forest. Then I went thru the  clouds as I
meandered along the trail still going up not a soul in sight.  Gradually I broke
through the clouds and sun rays started to slitter  through the trees.

As I reached the top I had to resorted to hand and foot over rocks with  Zap
tagging along. I
then saw the most unbelievable  sight I  had ever seen as  I looked down .
The clouds were flowing like a slow moving river without a  ripple, almost as
smooth as ice, between me and the peak which broke thru  clouds to the east. The
sun shining  over the  peak to the east  causing a reflection of the peak on
the clouds below, just as you would see  the refection of a mountain on  a
lake. This is a close to  heaven you can get. And me with out my camera.

 As I went thru Zap's and my journey with you don't take Zap my dog  for
granted. Watch this short video about a dog named Skidboot and see  what love
between man/women and dog can do.
