Jacques, the most photographed member of Inspiring Heights, died in Sam's arms last Thursday after a short decline in health. He was 98 in dog years. We will miss him.  Now, without Jacques, Sam will have to clean his kitchen floor. Oops!…

Four Sierra rivers flowing cold and crystal clear,

Draining snowpacks before man could dream.

I swam in the Stanislaus before there was hair on my chin.

I pitched my tent by the Tuolumne and it sang a lullabye.

I tasted the Merced as it played-sprayed all misty upon me.

I cooled my feet in the San Joaquin while bucks and…

Hello,



Never blogged before, so here goes. Tackled the Hawley Grade hike today. First hike post-op so a little rough on the uphill side. Only a 4.2 mile hike but it's continual uphill on the way up.
