You are an inspiration. Enjoy the journey. I once heard a nice saying: It’s not who comes home with the most money who is richest. It’s who comes home with the most experiences.
Best wishes

Thank you! I just may have to take you up on that generous offer.

Go for the ski pass if you can! 😀

(In quickly approaching the end of what my wife calls my “gap year” after retiring from the Air Force. I suppose I should start looking for a job soon, or buy a season ski pass instead.)

Thanks! Please, send the ideas my way. Would love to hear them. 🙂

If you’d like any ideas for Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains (beyond the obvious popular highlights) hit me up. Those are parks I’m very familiar with. Also, add Carlsbad Caverns to the list. You’ll be in the area, and it’s very much worth a day or two. Though be sure to book their guided caving tours a bit in advance.

The Hayduke is a bit more convoluted in its course, the idea of walking across a state appeals me, I like where this very loose route goes, and I just want to hike. I do not want to be part of a linear social community. 🙂

Enjoy your trips!
