TR, my first trip

[Ispoiler]

I don’t know how to even begin a write up of my first trip to Tucks. I loved every minute of it from the 2 am departure Saturday morning, getting the last spot in on the right side of the Pinkmans lot, my first views of the bowl above Hojo’s , the butterflies in my stomach on the climb up to the mouth of the chute, and then having all my nervousness dissipate as I dropped in for my first descent. It’s not possible to summarize the culmination of months of day dreams so all I will say is that my first run satisfied a restless desire in my soul. Short and simply, I am hooked. :)

It is clear that somebody is a puppy person as well as an avid tuckermaniac.
