Winter.
On top of Mighty Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona (,2704 feet of oxygen deprived granite) there was a slight wind chill in the 75 degree sunshine. Somehow I survived and endured the harsh elements. After all, I didn't want to embarrass myself before those 100-plus bestest buddies who hiked with me to the summit. Ahhh wilderness!
Speaking of atrophy: with T-Minus one week until I turn 61, I realized taking a three day break from physical mobility is not a good idea. The way I was breathing on that minuscule chunk of crumbly rock, one would think I was summiting Everest.
Note to self: Always keep moving until Happy Hour.
Cheers from 33.5 degrees North.
Enough to make a difference in being SAD. http://jeffsambur.blogspot.com/2015/11/i-playing-dirty.html

The altitude on top of that pipsqueak hill is only a little over half the altitude you live with in Boulder in summer! Maybe more water and less beer?
