A short hike in an interesting place, a downhill trip along a dry stream, a good lunch in a beautiful 1876 hotel, and a tour with a dedicated volunteer made for a pleasant day with 18 people, three of them new and one rare appearance. You're welcome back, Mike and Molly, Connie and Barbara.
Thanks to Mark Jones for an excellent tour of his persistent, meticulous handiwork, along with many volunteers and artisans from Del Norte, our County seat. They served tasty food well and offer overnight hospitality in a most pleasant environment.
Next hike is next Monday at 9 a.m. departure from the Visitor Center, with Wayne and Linda. Newcomers are welcome. Keep healthy, breathe deeply, push those muscles. I hope to see you in May with some refreshed Portuguese on the tip of my tongue.
