[Leica] Frosty trip

[Aram Langhans]

I decided to go to the top of the ridge to our north up to the 
communications towers to see if it was above the fog.  I have made the 
trip may times before, but not in fog.  I wanted a picture of the valley 
smothered in fog with Autanum ridge peeking up through it.  I never made 
it to the top.  About a third of the way up the fog got thicker and 
thicker.  Up there it is a maze of dirt roads that crisscross the 
hillside  At spots I could hardly see two car lengths in front of me so 
we crept along taking roads I thought went to the top but ended up at a 
dead end somewhere I think to the east of the top in thick fog.  I did 
stop and get a few shots on the way down.  Margie did not want me to try 
any more roads even though I thought I spotted my mistake.  There are 
houses scattered all along the hillside. If someone lived up there and 
was going home at night in this they would have had a heck of a time not 
going off the road and down a cliff.

I found a pine tree just off the road.

I was not going to walk up to it as the bank was a bit steep, but I am 
glad I did.  It was well decorated with frost.  All I had was my Q2, 
which was probably not the best tool.  I wanted to go back with my 
100APO, but Margie was not too thrilled about me going, so saner minds 
prevailed.  Start here for the decorations. View large.  The Q2 can take it.
