“I have noticed that youngsters given to the climbing habit usually do something when they grow up.” Elbert Hubbard
I climbed trees when I was a young child. I remember getting to the top of a particularly tall tree (to me anyway) when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I was absolutely stunned by the view. We lived on the North Shore of Lake Superior at the time on a ridge about two miles from the lake. There was no development of any kind between us and the lake. Climbing that tree and seeing that completely unobstructed view made a huge impression on me. My world was quite small until that moment. It really hadn’t occurred to me that there was a lot more “world” out there. But here was my proof!
In that tree – I could see “everything”. I was on top of the world!
And here is my Grand Daughter learning to do the same thing! She’s a natural climber – just like her Grandma.

Where were you? What were you doing?
Considering that this phenomenon will not happen again within our lifetime, I decided it had to be documented in my 365 Project. It was interesting to set this up with other people watching with curiosity. In fact, there is a fellow just off to the right in the hot tub smiling at us while the camera snapped away on Self Timer mode. This will be a great memory to pass on to our Grandkids and Great Grandkids so that they can see their Ya Ya and Papa G living life, not letting life just pass by. I want my future generations to be motivated and excited about exploring the world and living life to the fullest for as long as is possible. We live in a very mobile world where it is easier and easier to travel the world over and experience life on a level that my parents never did. And I never did either until recently – within the last ten years. And I’m now hooked!
And I’m doing it with my Best Friend!
