Hugh,
Charlotte and I believe you are a true Kimball.. a sardine, yogurt, and an orange - 88 miles... nothing to it.
We like the order of your entries... but why no "sign off" like all the old time phone calls.
We are glad you are back together and look forward to the future adventures.
Happy travels.
Charlotte & Tom
Hugh,
Your posts are just like Grandpa's notes from his Sierra Club trips. Brief and to the point - what you ate, how far you traveled, and where you camped.
Your niece Mary
Hi Hugh,
We'll do lunch when you get back to Seattle next month. Lei & I will cook/prepare some special lunch just for you and Janet!
Enjoy your journey and be safe always.
Rosale (Janet's friend at Udub)
