I feel triumphant, said Bob.
Standing atop the Garden to Sky Trail.
Six hundred seventy-nine feet above where we started.
A hike taking us an hour, twenty minutes.
With our oldish bodies.
Reinvigorated with barbells, medicine balls.
At the gym at home.
Now scaling heights.
Able to view both sides of Catalina Island.
At the divide on top.
One side looking toward Los Angeles.
The other facing Hawaii.
So we stopped a few moments, rested.
When a small red fox popped out,
celebrating our victory.
Joining us on our route.
