HERE I AM beginning a tough hike in the Beartooth Mountains near Red Lodge, MT. Hike was 8 miles round trip including a 3000 elevation gain in 3 miles. Have had a busy July, attending an All School Reunion in Fairfield, going to family campout at Canyon Ferry, a visit and trip to Yellowstone with Marci and boys. Am giving my little motorhome a good workout! Two adults and two children rather maxes out the sleeping space, for sure. In between all that activity, am doing work as well, and some fixing up on my house. Beauty of the jobs I have is flex schedule! Catching some extra work now with my training business, which is good since I need to pay for a couple of big trips coming up this fall and next spring.
