The Webmaster's Story Self-Portrait © 2001 by Kent Gunnufson A rush of wind awakened the mountain's silence. Clouds and falling snow fogged the horizon. The storm took away my balance while the cold reached my inner warmth. The "whiteout" enveloped me. The ordeal drained my essence, yet my soul fought from a hope of capturing the grand landscape on film. I anticipated a ray of light breaking through the storm, but my expectations faded with the evening's light. In minutes the sun would set behind the mountain. Reaching the top of the America's great Continental Divide had been a long, hard climb, but the schuss down would be fast and treacherous. I feared losing the way back to my log home.
