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.
