In 2023 Dean and I did a trip to Bend over the long Presidents Day Weekend. I reached out to Dean and some friends for a return trip in 2024. Unfortunately, nobody else could make it and Mia had to work on the Monday that I had off from work. Not to be deterred by…

San Juan Huts – Day 7
Today was the final day of our San Juan Huts trip. The Telluride to Moab route was supposedly easier than the Durang to Moab route……if that is the case, I would say not by much! I know I am trying to compare to seven years ago. Seven years younger, maybe a bit fitter back then…
