It has been quite a while since our last walking trip.  During that time, we went through a couple family-related struggles.  First, Mike’s oldest sister passed away after a battle against pancreatic cancer.  Just about when Mike felt ready to resume our travels, our elderly dog became too frail to be left in long-term boarding; Droopy passed away a few months ago.  So after an almost two year hiatus, we are excited to soon be back on the road.  We are driving back to where we stopped in Indiana, to begin the first of our planned three spring walks.  Here’s hoping for good weather and strong legs!  Stay tuned.
