One of the new volunteers at WRCNU is fairly recently moved from the Couer D’Alene, ID, area. She is an avid outdoorsy type, about my age, has tons of energy and spent a lot of time in search and rescue with her dogs, was a member of the Spokane Mountaineering organization, etc., etc, etc. And YEAH, very interested in finding hikes in the area as her husband is dealing with some leg issues. AND is a fan of starting early to beat the crowds and heat!

So, with Joel and his knees not liking the hilly trails around here much anymore, it looks like I found a new hiking partner. It works out great as I am trying to put in a lot of miles with a heavy pack as I train for my July trip to Glacier Peak in WA. We have gone on 2 hikes with another planned for Thursday.
