Tomorrow I co-lead the Tuesday group hike. This makes me nervous because of fear of what others expect. I hope they don't expect a professional educational tour. My only goal is to share this area with them but I don't profess to be an expert on what we'll see.
This is a momentous year - in February I got my national park service senior pass and today applied for social security. I'm getting old as dirt! Now spouse and I are sitting in the office, he messing around taking tags off his new bicycle helmet and me typing nonsense at the computer, listening to 30 Years of Great Folk Hits from Reader's Digest. I'm afraid there's little hope for us! Then again, on Saturday, we met our neighbor's 100 year old father and, man, he looks good! We can only hope for such longevity!
Yesterday I walked the Cañada Bonita Trail to the two mile turn around point. Today I walked up Pajarito Mountain to the wooden bench, now overturned, on the south side of the mountain. Winds were blowing and it was hazy. I'd do pretty well just hiking on a ski hill every day except in the winter. I love Pajarito Mountain!!
