30 Shades of Gray Butte
Millennial turns 30 and hikes butte, reminisces about ticks and pioneer orchards.
Bessie: The 'Other' Butte
Bessie Butte is my other butte. To Pilot 'in-town' Butte and Lava 'on-the-way-home' Butte anyway. Admittedly, there are enough buttes in my life that I have taken to giving them nicknames. Seems silly to personify a mass of dirt but I assure you each one has a unique personality, no two inclines are ever alike.

In the city we drink eclectic cocktails on barnwood tables, nosh our locally harvested aperitif. Out here, the barn wood supports a livelihood. The solitary farmer is a 16 hour dust cloud. Around him are ghostly carcasses, lost homesteads. Century old dreams lay baked in the desert sun. They are but apparitions in a literal ghost town.
