Tahiti.

Even after getting after it almost every week for the past three years there is still a lot to see around here -- case in point is Glen Peak, a good-loooking 8,600-foot peak partway down the Bitterroot exactly one hour from the house (drive time includes 25 minutes on a dirt road). Glen is unique in that it has a road going half way up it. I skied part of it two winters ago but was far from the summit, and had not been back. Maybe the road scared me away.

I went up with Eric, who despite using the Bitterroot as his playground for several years had not been up it either. Much of the way up we talked about Tahiti -- namely, do you fly there and backpack, camp, eat baguettes, and get around on the cargo ferry, or do you sign up for the Costco package, fly there, and find the chauffeur standing outside immigration with your name scrawled on a placard? Anyway, it was fun to remember good times there.
