Having not hiked for decades, life having gotten in the way, I got back into hiking with my Grandson Michael and the old fire was rekindled. Now I share my love for the wild places and the various peaks with you to enjoy. I'm not a gear freak, though quality gear is important. I'm not a "gram counter" though I'm working to shed pack weight to further my hiking distances. I just loving to see the wild world that God has blessed us with.
