Finely crafted dipping cups


Dotted among the trails up the mountain are various springs where you can stop for a nice cool drink of mountain water. Notice the finely crafted handmade dipping spouts. Especially delicate is the proportion of duct tape to the plastic gatorade bottle on the abandoned ski pole. Selflessly created by an unknown craftsperson, and emblematic of the kindness to strangers around here. Speaking of which, while Moonlight skiing last night, we stopped in at the various shelters on the mountain and discovered somebody'd left some dark chocolate raisinettes in the "treat" box (old army ammo boxes where people take, or leave, a treat for the next people to come along) Man, were those a tasty surprise!
