As my heart sank/swelled with each pic, I found myself asking...WHY am I not doing this type of stuff anymore? and you know I couldn't come up with a valid "reason"/only excuses...Thanks for the gutcheck. Say Hi to Gary,(we went to HS together), and Steve P. next time you see them. Enjoy each moment/each shared mem/smile on trail, take the picture when so moved; sometimes days gone by can be easily lost forever...until someone likes you jogs those memories,(with your pics/narrative) and once again lights a fire under your ass/and deep down in your soul.
