In your travels, have you seen any Sasquatch?

It's fun to look back! Lookin good too, hon. ?

Nice memories. You have always been lean and fit.

With a family cabin at the Base of Mt. Hood, my dad would study forest service maps prior to hiking into some ‘lost lake’ (I think there were three of those). Late 60’s - early 70’s, we’d have an entire Cascade lake to ourselves!

At age 24 I inherited the family homestead in the eastern foothills of Oregon’s Coast Range, rarely needed to ‘go’ hiking again, we lived in the woods.. Never measured the distance of trails I dug on that land, with bridges, culverts and name signs. My brother & I would always study the forest service footbridges, never realizing some day we’d do our best to replicate them.

Miss the Cascade Mountains … where the Hummingbirds go! We’d walk through cathedrals of Firs ..more breathtaking than any church! A game we 4 siblings would play as we hiked was, ‘what are our friends doing now..?’ Shoplifting, ‘lawn-shopping,’ roof-hopping ..just prior to discovering alcohol, pot, & girls..

Always thought we were missing out, though. Any more, with dad turning ninety in a week, I make the effort to again thank him. Much of the time we hated it, as kids do. Looking back - it was magnificent beyond description - we were on top of the world!

And you’re still there
