I have conquered the hill.

With shaking hands I took these pictures, on my way down.

Here's the view from the bottom. I had to run down it...walked around town, and I was fine, but I had to run back up it again. Haha, I am so neurotic sometimes. And man...let me tell you, running up this hill at all is rough in and of itself...let alone in the middle of a panic attack! But, I did it. And I can do it again. It's just a hill! Jesus. The only way to get over it is to just keep doing it.

It really doesn't look so bad, from the picture. But little victories are victories nonetheless, and they are so sweet.

The little Hot Brook at the bottom, fed by the hot springs.

Some of the sandstone architecture of downtown Hot Springs. I felt much better by this point, barring the thought of having to run back up that hill...! XD;

After walking back home (stopping in the local laundromat to catch my breath and joke with the cashier about trying to get back in shape, ha...) I saw some more deer. What a surprise. There were two here, what I imagine are a mother and fawn...this is the fawn, I suppose. The mother walked off. Is this a mule deer? Anyone who knows about deer, answer this for me ^_^

That's all for now folks. Until next time.
