| Outstanding Views |
This blog post begins with an electrifying event. There, a dozen of us stood. And, we all heard the shout saying, "It is not live." That is when it happened. One member in the group grabbed the wire, Oops. Wrong. Definitely wrong. Way wrong. In an instant we saw and heard a most pronounced reaction. Standing there near the top of a hill overlooking the town of Kelty, with cows and sheep nearby, with wind turbines spinning in the near distance, with the Firth of Forth and Arthur's Seat in the far distance, with stone walls and wildflowers and grassy hill sides around us, we witnessed the sudden look of surprise on Mike's face and heard something that resembled the shrieking sound a hawk makes when diving upon prey, "IT IS LIVE." He had grabbed the electrified fence in an effort to secure it for others to pass. William was holding onto Mike. Both felt the sudden and unmistakeable jolt of electricity. At first Beth thought they were kidding, then offered concern and sympathy.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show? Actually, it was a spectacular 12 mile hill walk with the Club; plus 2,000 feet of elevation gain. We ventured north of Edinburgh where the hills dominate the landscape. Plenty of views from treeless terrain. Plenty of socializing with long-time Club members. Plenty of walking on marked trails, bushwhacking through unmarked fields, and scrambling up steep slopes.
Happy Father's Day.
