This picture was taken on one of these back roads near Glenwood. I discovered it almost a decade ago on one of my motorcycle rides. Since then, I've been returning to this location every once in awhile and every time I stop I'll take a few snaps. I remember one time in October, I was there once again on my motorcycle with few other bikers. At the time, the sky was dark and stormy and Mt Adams and the trees in the foreground were lit up with beautiful, soft light. I thought to myself that I should stop and take a picture, but at the same time I didn't want to hold up my buddies, so I kept going and thinking to myself that I'll come back the next day. And so I did...but guess what? The scene was way different, flat sky, no light, everything wet, still kind of cool, but nothing like I remembered from the day before. Of course I went back a couple more times that autumn, but I've never seen the perfect stormy clouds with a beautiful light, ever again. I have seen many different nice views over there, but the one that I hesitated to stop for never came back. I will keep going back till I get that one shot. Hopefully, I'll get it one time. So my lesson is this... If you can just stop for a minute then do it, even if your friends will be waiting for you and telling you "hey, hurry up". You never know if you will see the same scene again. Mt.
