Wagner Beauty...


One of the benefits of getting "fit" again is that you can get fit and attractive women to go romp in the woods with you.
After the first snowfall of the year at higher elevations, we managed to squeeze in the very last day possible to climb Wagner Butte without snowshoes this season.

The trailhead starts out around 5,000 feet and summits at 7 something.

The short winter day with more snow coming meant that we did some scooting to get to the summit and back down again, and I kept my camera tucked away for the most part.

(So I stole the three pictures without a human in them from the embernet...)

1)Wagner Butte from the valley below.
2)Fit and beautiful woman.
3)The view from the summit of Talent and Ashland and Mt. McCloughlin in the distance.
4)The view from the summit of Mt. Ashland and Mt. Shasta behind it with a telephoto lens.

So what does Mr. Scott do when alone with a beautiful woman in the woods?

Gets out of the car, puts on my pack, takes ten steps, steps on ice and flips to horizontal landing flat on my face...

"Are you alright?"

Sigh...

"Yeah, I think it's just a cramp..."

Like your smooth moves. Nothing like getting an attractive woman to play nurse in the woods huh?

I had a motorbike once, a steep driveway and a lovely damsel across the road in a bikini watering the garden. You can probably see what's coming here.

Yep, macho man roared down the drive and me and bike ended up on the ground in front of damsel. A forgettable moment.

We used to have a UPS man that was slightly enamored with me and would talk compulsively about the stupidest stuff on deliveries to our house.
One day after his long chat and super friendly little flirting spurt he turns to walk back to his truck and my garden rake was propped up against my trellis because I was gardening, and yep, he steps on the prongs and "Whack" it sounded like thunking a melon. I was so embarrassed for him and he had such a huge goose egg. I gave him a disposable ice pack but I worried all day if he was ok. Come to find out he went home early but the other UPS drivers said his forehead was purple for a long time. Now don't you feel better at least it wasn't that bad.

What a gorgeous part of the world you have the good fortune to live in! Aww, fit, beautiful women are immune to all the smooth moves, sneaking under the radar with a pratt-fall gets their pity reflex in gear.. not necessarliy such a bad thing!
