Absence makes the heart grow fonder

After a few of life’s complications which have kept us somewhat distracted, we’re back on the trail and we even convinced the King of Energy Efficiency to join us for a loop. Ted’s magnetic personality caused our small group to grow to five before we were finished. We were happy to have Bruce and Mike join us for the final four miles.

While we’ve been away, Kevin enjoyed a long sweet look at a mountain lion just up from a nap and headed out for dinner. Also, Daniel faced a cabin fire in which he heroically contained its spread, alerted the fire control and supervised its extinguishment! Finally, the pack station has added homemade vegetable soup and chili to its menu of hot dogs and hot-links. Ted, Sharon and I enjoyed a cup of the vegetable to finish up our day and we are happy to say it was delicious! I’m looking forward to testing the chili at the very next opportunity and will report promptly following.

Era grande da vederli ancora, Jane & Ed!


Jane and Ed joined us for a great hike this winter! They now live in Trieste, Italy and although I find this difficult to believe, they report that they don't have access to a hiking trail as enjoyable as Chantry Flat!
