A small group decided to make the steep climb up to the summit of Mt. Pignon early yesterday. Here is a quick glimpse of their morning.
The Lord is a marvelous mystery. We hiked up Mount Pignon early this morning. The trail head started in one of Pignon’s garbage dumps. It quickly transitioned into a “farm” planted with mostly corn. The hike was steep as we quickly gained elevation and were rewarded with a great view of the plateau and surrounding mountains. To my surprise there were farm plots scattered along the mountain side. As we neared the summit the trail climbed through a steep and rocky farm plot where there was a very elderly man (68 years old) working his field. This man, seemingly pushed to the edge of marginal farm land, was doing what he had to to survive.
