You can look back and see where you have been. You can see where paths have crossed and interpret the tracks." -- Andrea Mead Lawrence, A Practice of Mountains My dear Bets, I'd trade tracks with you anyday, anytime. Just say the word. Lots of love from up high, L Flickr Pics Think outside the Zone.

Muir, and to teach me climbing tips. It was a blast!! I am dreaming about my next hike/climb already! And because of your way with words Laura, my family was able to experience the day as well! Blessings, Betsy
