Slushies On Sugar Hill

The snow was piña colada Slurpee. That’s what happens in June after a night when it doesn’t freeze in the high desert. My dad Ken, brother Nate, and I were just across the Oregon/California border, hiking Sugar Hill in Modoc County. My shoes were getting a refill every step.

Like Coming Home

It’s bitter cold out on the porch and snow blows in on the northwest wind. When it’s clear you can see the Big Dipper, Orion and the Milky Way clear as crystal out here. Dry desert air and no light pollution. The ranch’s ten thousand acres laid out in a night-darkened panorama.
