I worked on that road to whitehorse clearing trees for the right of way when I was young. Boy is that wild beautiful country. Hard money laborers job. I was poor and could not afford to lose the job, so I did not even take breaks, just worked 10 hours straight each day. Never stopped moving.

When I was finished my employer said I was the hardest worker he ever saw and I could work for him anytime. I was just scared of losing the job-lol. 6,10's. Had a bad ankle I had to bandage every day.

I was rock hard muscel and the toughest kid on the block for sure when I finished-lol. It was so steep they flew us in, in helicpoters and landed us on a ledge. When they picked us up the pilot just sort of threw the helicopter into the gorge-lol.

Sort of reminded me of the high Sierra. I never saw any country in the world as beautiful as the high Sierra. I had a work study job in college teaching kids to climb. Climbed Mt Humphrey to the tippy top. Almost 14,000 feet.

The high Sierra in the summer is like a florist shop, so many wild flowers and beautiful ponds filled with golden trout!! The rest, above tree line, is like a lawn interspersed with fresh granite.

Boy was that pretty. Wish everyone could see it.

Sarah is also going to stump for Michelle Bachman who is stone cold nuts-lol!! Like her-lol.
