This may be the last mountain blog I post for a while, due to my current hip situation and rehabilitation steps. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful that strength will return and I will be able to keep my June hiking trip as planned. As for this particular day, there are days in life when everything …

Recently, I stole away to find solace and peacefulness. Whenever my spirit requires recharging, I follow Liz Gilbert's advice: Get thee to water!
