in-de-pen-dence

\in-de-pen-dence: \ 1. the quality or state of being independent.

To celebrate our independence on the day of birth of our nation...Kristina, and a few of our friends rode the highest paved road in North America.

Independence as a paradox - leg power in the midst of messy BP muck puddle in Mother Nature's garden...

This might have to become an annual event. To sum up - EPIC. This was second time to the top for me, not sure if it was any easier or harder...but just as grand...Kristina's first - she pretty much killed it (and me) near the top.

Also, if you know where I can get a mountain goat for a pet, I think Luna and Willow would love one!
