Awesome Ain't Easy

I never thought I’d see

Ousel Falls again

but I wanted to take

David and Chris

my two college buddies

in town for a quick

two day visit

the only handicap

accessible trail in big sky

we left the house after four

as soon as I got outside

onto our driveway

we were greeted by thunder

when we arrived at the trailhead

it was still iffy out

so Chris carried our umbrella

then we discovered

the path had built-in log

obstacles to my power chair

in order to get over the logs

everyone was needed

someone held my shoulders

someone drove

someone else held my other shoulder

someone else tried to keep

my power chair on the path

someone else stood on top

of the big branch we found

on the trail

which we carried with us

someone else videoed 

 still my head got bonked every time

into my head rest on the chair

we had to speed up

to get over each log

I got thrown all over the place

but I got there

in one piece

we hung out at the falls

for quite awhile

I was amazed that I was there

on the return

we had to manage our way

back over each log

towards the end

Micah noticed

the chair was almost

out of power

we sped over

the last log

at the top of the trail

the chair died

we had to push the chair in manual

for the rest of the way

to get up the ramp into the van

we sent Micah home

to get the charger

we went up the mountain

to show Chris and David the mountain store

to top off an already epic day

we went to Curly’s restaurant

The Cabin for dinner

David and Chris loved the food

loved the atmosphere

especially the animal heads on the wall

authentic Montana

the night before

we went to Rainbow Ranch

for the music and happy hour

after dinner

we went to the fire pit by the river

David had his travel guitar

serenaded us for the rest of the evening

it was an amazing visit
