(October 5th, 2024) I actually retired December 31st, 2023, had a nice going away bonus and was a happy man. Unbeknownst to me there was going to be more! Seems Ben, Blayne and Kathy had been planning a party ever since and today was the day! They knew I wouldn't come if it was a surprise, so kinda forwarned me. Didn't expect as many friends and family though! Had a great time....! Click on photo for more pictures!

(October 4TH, 2024) Well just a mile of it anyway. Making plans to be dropped off 4 miles further up the trail and hiking back. Also realize this would be a great walk for Daisy and Jeff. With the Gold Ranch fire the views have changed since I was there a year ago. Click on photo for more pictures!
