Wasn't this amazing!!! It really was majestic, that's why I went back 4 times. I just couldn't get enough of those Rockies!!👍

Cat your trips have certainly gotten much more interesting and grand. Thank you for taking me along. I miss backpacking with all my heart. I’m 66 now and have my concerns about being out too far. Choosing the right partner is #1 of course for your safety. Happy trails I’m right there with you!😉

[@johnpinckney4979]

Mary, I'm 67. And, I just bought another PLB to last me until 2030. I have more fears about being out at night here in suburbia than being alone in the wilderness. I know that I could let my fears control me. If I let them. And, I don't. Yes, I'm careful. That's why I carry a PLB. Please don't let fears keep you from enjoying God's Creation that few get to see. You have it within you to overcome your fears. Giod Bless...

[@jaynetabb208]

What a treat today! Nearly an hour of adventure with you and Joey. I'm out of exclamations about the beauty of the scenery there. Just beautiful and I'm so thankful for taking the journey with you.

I know how much work went into editing this. Great job!! Hey, let’s do a couples hike soon! We just returned from a weeklong trip to the Mammoth Lakes area and boy was the water flowing! I thought about what it would be like to hike up in the back country there, but I’ve never done it. With your expertise, I’d be will to try it! I’m sure my girlfriend would be up for it also! I don’t have all of the hiking gear, so maybe just a few day hikes? Anyway, bravo to you for being such a adventurous badass! I know you inspire many.
