This blog has been created over the past decade using a personal diary format.  There have been many trail changes over that period of time created by new development and/or significant weather conditions.  Many of the posts, which were factual at the time of each specific hike, may now be misleading and potentially dangerous as a source of current and reliable information.

After considering many options, I have decided to remove the blog from circulation.  Thank you for following.  I wish each and every one of you all the best.
