This weekend was essentially hike free. If you can walk a gentle mile, then you can cover all the territory we did.

And I almost never take pictures of people. I so hate being in photographs it doesn't seem fair to subject other people to it. And I'm too much of an introvert to ask strangers if they'd be willing to be in a photo of my own.

I think that is why I like to take pictures....gives me control of the camera. I think people are shocked when I am taking pictures of my family and they offer to take one for us and I say 'Oh, no!!! I don't want to be in the picture!' I am now and again for the family album so they can't say I never went anywhere with them.

Okay, thanks about the hike info. I worry because of the altitude. The hike we did to the lake last year, whew, it went up pretty high, I could be wrong but I think 11,000 feet? We took it slow and easy but it was high. We drove up to, dang, maybe 9,000 feet to the trail head? I dunno. I know we did have residual effects from that day.

One, a touch of altitude issues, giant blisters for the Boy, and, a view of a full moon in broad daylight as our friends went skinny dipping!! They were a bit ahead of us and we thought what the heck is that white thing over there?
