June 21st, 2018 - Best Day of the Year (Northern Hemisphere)

[T-Square]

Today is the summer solstice. Yay, Things only get better now. Days get shorter which means snow is ‘just’ around the corner.




Does this mean I’m ski addict?

Today is my favorite day for that reason. I like summer, sorta, hate the humidity but cope with it not being winter by trying to do lots of fun stuff. This day is the turning point for the reason you mentioned. I love fall almost as much as winter so I just would like July and August to mosey on by. Each day here on out will be shorter and we get closer to football and all the fabulousness that follows after that. Hell it's near the end of June, 4th of July is in less than 2 weeks. I almost have a slight spring in my step today.

Idk, my workout today called for a long run of repeats to a summit. Apparently there was a large group of nudists also celebrating the summer solstice, so I had to navigate through a pack a naked travelers 6x to ascend & descend the summit 3x.

They told me I’d be faster naked.

The summer solstice has always been my favorite day. And not just because it's my birthday!

Happy birthday @Chris Walker!!!!!!! I admit I enjoyed last night because it was still light out well after 8. I poured a beverage, put together my new umbrella stand for the umbrella over my chaise lounge and then read for the next 30 minutes. Didn't go inside til near 845pm.

It's just getting warm here. But the days are headed in the right direction.

Midnight Sun Festival tomorrow.. giant street fair from noon to midnight to celebrate the midnight sun, also going to try to do some late night SUP paddling with the wife and dog.

Here in sub tropical Brisbane Australia I’m celebrating too. It’s lovely weather - about 68 degrees during the day and 50 at night. Beautiful and clear - not a cloud in the sky.
In exactly 6 months I will be landing into Munich to take in Christmas markets before a 25 day vacation of skiing and sight seeing in Austria and Italy.

I like summer. I enjoy the long evenings and the sunny days. It doesn't mean that I don't look forward to skiing though! Happy B-Day @Chris Walker

I was in 35 degrees and a good snow/graupel mix 11,500' and above just south of Breck yesterday.
