Bob,

I just have to say what a role model you are for me.  I am 51 & part of my 
retirement dream is to hike a lot in CH.  Thank you for letting me know it 
is possible.  I remember one older woman on our Heartland trip a couple of 
years ago.  That woman hiked ambitious hikes each day & always looked happy 
but exhausted.  I hope I have this to look forward to.
