Since late December when Dad got really sick, this is the first posting … it has been awhile. Lots of things happened since December 22, 2022, but not a lot of motivation to put finger to screen (or pen to paper as many may remember!)

Anyways, as I should be training for an upcoming climb of Mt. Adams, Joel and I took a hike near our house – in about 1600′ of elevation gain we went from blooming flowers to 8′ of lingering snow. A beautiful day and only ran into one person on the trail.
