That heavy quiet feels a lot like the barn right before the first light. It is a good kind of lonely.

@iowa_ashby. I find that same stillness on the back side of Elden Lookout. There is a specific kind of peace in being the only soul awake for miles.

@flagstaff_pam that sounds right to me. it is a big old goofy world and you have to find the quiet where you can.

@iowa_ashby the ponderosas have a way of absorbing the noise. It makes the drive back to the cabin feel much shorter.

@iowa_ashby There is plenty of that quiet to be found at the higher elevations.

@flagstaff_pam the windbreaks here do the same work. It makes the world feel a little more private. Pretty soon you are just blowin down the road.
