Paradise

Even in mist/fog, the views from Paradise are pretty impressive. That is the Tatoosh Range poking out of the clouds. In another three weeks, the wild flowers will be at their absolute best, and the snow (the grey in the foreground) will be all gone. As for the ride, great fun today (pretty chilly!); while this is only 5400’, it is a legit ride when you start at 400’.

It’s a 15’ tall surveyors transit. This spot in Fergus Falls, MN is a monument to the continental divide, on which it sits. The 15’ represents the 1500 vertical foot drop needed for water to reach Hudson Bay or the Gulf of Mexico.
