It's about time...

Starting this blog has been on my mind for a long time.  The idea behind the name is pretty simple. There are two things that tend to be the best at higher elevations, trails and wine. Thought it might be time to write about both.

Running uphill makes me happy.  Getting to the top of a big climb, like the Corduroy Hill in Las Trampas is a great feeling, not sure I can put it into words really.  Climbs like this are even better when you are rewarded with a ridge top single track trail like the Las Trampas Ridgeline trail.  Pure heaven.

Wine seems to also thrive at higher elevations. I've been impressed with the Rhones coming out of the Sierras and the Pinot and Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains. If you haven't had or heard of Rhys Vineyards in Santa Cruz, track a bottle down. They are expensive and rare, but they are happiness in a bottle.

So that is the idea in a nutshell....wonder where this will all go, if it goes anywhere at all.
