Gettin the hell outta dodge!!!

It's that grand time of year when I get to take off with my Best Girl friends for a little R & R. Lacy and Shannon and I started this tradition 10 years ago and I think we have gone somewhere every year but one. We have even added a few friends to make it more exciting.

We have been to Las Vegas several times, San Francisco, Seattle, Jackson Hole, and this year we are venturing to Capitol Reef here in the great state of Utah.

I am hoping that all goes well with the trip and that I don't cause any major

trauma. I have been known to do that. 2 Years ago I fell and dislocated my knee in Las Vegas

and last year there was a minor incident with a very long hike and an

ambulance may or may not have been called due to my momentary mental breakdown,

with leg cramps that I was sure were going to kill me while visiting Jenny Lake.

My friend Kara is coming with her bike,and while she might be crazy enough to

WANT to bike 60 miles...yes I said 60 miles....I do not. I might get brave and bike

around the block.I also do not want to hike five 1/2 miles no matter how pretty it is at the end

of the journey. I hate hiking with all my heart.

So what am I going to do on this trip you ask?

Find a nice shady tree, with a good book and a glass of wine and see them at the

start of the trail when they get back.
