It was a good day to take a long hike in beautiful country.






One thing about this trip is how great the people are who I am trekking with. This is one where all become one family for a week. We have two great guides in Marie and Nick, they enjoy what they do and are both young enough to still have wanderlust and use this to fulfil some of that. But also, they take their role serious, hence that makes them perfect for this group. My roommate for the week is Hugh, a 62 year old retired animal vet, he is like me, just staying active and loving the life that God has given him. There is Angela, a young professional ( I am getting to the point in life that a lot of people look young) that is changing jobs and using the time between to just follow her heart. She is an ultra trail runner, so she puts us all to shame on condition. It is admirable to see a young professional that has such a good grasp of life. There is Marie (2), a flight attendant that is just using a week off to enjoy life, she is one of those pleasant souls. Then there are Glenda and Jon, triathletes and professionals that are just getting a break from their responsibilities. Glenda is outgoing and Jon is the opposite, reserved. Glenda says they are ying and yang. The homes of all are St. Louis, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Houston and Chicago. They are all great.
