Hi Steve. Ken and I had a chance to go through your blog together yesterday. Want to figure out the best time/place to catch you along the trail. Let us know your thoughts. Once Berta is settled and Ken's job is set we are free to go. Can travel over during the week or weekend. Whatever works best. What an incredible experience
Barbara TennisonMy kind of accommodations Steve. After seeing all the the pics, I get why you would be doing something like this, it is beautful, but it also reinforces why I like hotels....lol Be safe. Barbara
