Sue, those are incredible pictures! Oddly enough, someone was telling me about that hike just yesterday. I'll have to figure out where it is. Hasn't the moon been incredible? I've gone for walks the last several evenings and I swear I could have been on my bike with no lights. (On a bike trail, not out in traffic!) There's an incredible ride, or at least there was, in Death Valley. It was done by a full moon in the middle of the night! The road was closed and with the reflection on the salt flats, no lights were needed! We had them though, just in case.

It's too bad I will miss the two of you on sunday. I've been so busy and there are so many great rides coming up! Hopefully my life will calm down soon, I need to do some rides!

This is what I'll be doing. DH will fly up tomorrow a.m. on the "scenic" Southeast Alaska island hopping flight. I'll get up there as soon as I get off work, will jump on the flight that has room

Next good ride that's on a sunday, I am there. This area is so beautiful and I need to start experiencing it!
