Hey Christine, your pic is so cool! Where was that taken? Boy, my DH would love for me to hike with him. He did the John Muir trail last summer ( part of it..) and it took him 22 days! Poor thing lost 15 lbs cuz he simply couldn't pack enough food for himself! At 6'2" he came home at under 160 lbs. It took him six months to get his Cathe weight workout strength back...really bummed him out. But, does he ever LOVE to hike! Trying to get my pinkie toe healed so I can contemplate the whole idea.
I see you live in San Jose...My in-laws live there. Not allot of Californians on these boards are there? Certainly none from Central Calif..:-( deb
