What a beautiful and detailed-filled read this is! I enjoyed every moment of the hike with you and the Trailblazers today. Question: is there a leader who decides where the group hikes...when to turn back...etc.?<br />The photographs are beautiful, as always. Thank you for taking me along with you. I enjoyed it so much. <br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-55172667704659117302013-07-12T02:53:17.356-07:002013-07-12T02:53:17.356-07:00My sister sent me a photo of a view from her home....My sister sent me a photo of a view from her home...a green meadow and a herd of sheep with the snowcapped San Juan Mountains in the background...I thought right away of your hiking posts.
