***On May 17th I was notified by my doctor that I have cancer. I may not be uploading any new images for a while as I will be undergoing further tests and then treatment. I don't know how long this will put me out of commission, but I praise my Lord Jesus that I was able to get in one more hike before all this begins.
It was a great hike as my daughter and son-in-law went with me, and with this hike I completed hiking the entire Belknap Mountain Range!
