Today is Day 8 in Europe … and it has been an AWESOME trip!!! If my calculations are correct, I’ve hiked 45.54 miles with 18,767 feet of vertical over 18 hours 28 minutes. Hopefully my calves and quads are beginning to show it even a fraction as much as they feel it. Two favorite hikes so far. The first is…
Travel, Argentiere, Le Chapeau and Amazing Dinner!
Next adventure! Thanks to this summer’s flight schedule out of the Eagle airport, this trip got of to a SLOW start.

See you tomorrow … in Switzerland!
Anybody who really knows me knows that I am impulsive. And anybody who loves me has found a way to put up with that.
