Hi there —

There is a song popular some time ago that I habitually sing on a LO hike.  It is Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes.

The melody suits the words and the lyrics that really resonate for me:

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow

There are some nice recordings of it on Youtube.  Every time I hear it –the lookout emotions flow and all those different lookouts and the trails to them flood my mind…..

take care of yourself,

bruce
