Trip Report/Photos

We certainly had a gorgeous day for our hike, but I think what I enjoyed the most was our awesome group. I got to hang out with Steve, John and Don for a short while and they were a hoot! This was my first time meeting John and Don. Don came to my rescue when I lost my gloves. I also had two handsome young gentlemen offering to help me down an icy hill, which would have been exciting had they not said "let us help you, ma'am". I also got to spend lots of time with Matt, who is such a nice and smart guy. Everyone was great. Unfortunately we couldn't all stay together as a group. Regardless of all the hikes I've let, I don't quite know how to make that happen, if possible, especially with such a large group. However, I'm glad veryone got to hike leisurely at their own pace and never alone, hopefully enjoying the experience, and that's what counts! I hope I can come up with other ideas that can draw a large amount of participants like today!. Maybe offer free beer?
