One of These Days...

I miss hiking more than words can describe. I can get out and walk a little on a trail that is close by while Ben is in school, but it's not the same as walking for hours and hours out somewhere away from it all and truly getting that primal connection to nature.

Once Russell graduates I plan to start back packing again. Unfortunately for me though, I need to find a new partner if I'm going to seriously get back into the sport. I have a feeling this won't be an easy task because as far as I'm concerned Thomas was the best of the best. Where ever you are Thomas...I miss you and I hope the new trails you are traveling are treating you right.

I know it is hard not to have those mountains and trails right there at your doorstep. In your next house, wherever that will be, I hope you'll have easy access to great hiking.

Considering how important that is to you, it would seem to me that would be a deciding characteristic of an appropriate place to settle.

I hear what you are saying Fiery. I wouldn't have much of a problem settling in a place like Colorado. There are a few places I might like in fact. No telling what destiny lies before me...
