        “Jonathon,^^^^Didn’t mean to horn our way into a family outing here, and I’m speaking somewhat out of turn because Ross hasn’t completely acknowledged that I’m asking this for him. Maybe we can hookup at the TB meeting this Thursday and talk about it.^^Cliff “

            “Brian, thanks for the advice and the info on Jonathon. I’ll mention this to Ross. And your father is definitely an inspiration! ^^^^McP: I’m rapidly coming to the same conclusion about sports. It’s fun and I love playing softball, but it takes a back seat to my outdoor activities. I actually spend more time climbing hills in the late fall & winter months while chukar hunting than I do while backpacking, so I consider the backpacking season as in training””. As much as I hate to admit it, I think I’ll start to think about toning down sports, because there’s no way I can still do it an not play with intensity. I use a knee brace, too, which has pretty much solved my downhill knee horrors. A lighter pack helps, too. I haven’t reached that point where I can hike two to three times a week year round like you, so I commute to work year round by bicycle and during the summer months I hike to and from work at least once a week with a fully loaded pack. It’s not far – five miles, but every little bit helps. Thanks for your advice.^^Cliff”””

              “I’ve hunted deer in the Goat Rocks area back in the early 70s with my dad. That was my only experience with the area but it sure was beautiful. Cold, too!”

                “That’s going to be a neat trip, Mike. I was up in there in 1975, but I wasn’t fishing, just hiking. It was so long ago I’ve forgotten some of the details and would like to get back up in there. Have fun.^^Cliff”

I would be curious as to when you will be up there and where you are hiking.^^Thanks,^^Cliff”””
