53 Degrees at Carlon Falls



Woo whee! Fifty three degrees of chilly bikini.

In the high Sierras two days ago, I cleared my head for tomorrow's road trip. Yes, the moment comes when you find the will to dive in and swim like you mean it. I sucked up icy buckets of courage inside the cave below Carlon Falls, under the curtain of surging, tumbling water force and said, "Fill me up. Let's go. I'm ready." Son Josef, a budding videographer and I will travel across the country documenting sustainable farms for the Agricultlore Book Project. We're diving in... But first, to finish packing.

I'm back from the south and now you're gone. It seems you've found other swimming holes and btw, why don't I see that bathing suit at the Dolphin Club?
I'll be watching you and Josef on your travels and am jealous.

Ciao, Laura
