Pictured in my latest blog post are my friends and I on Atalaya Mountain above Santa Fe. It was my first hike of the summer, and I decided to, once again, take my favorite trail.

I guess it’s my favorite because of all the memories. I’ve traveled the 5 mile, out-and-back path dozens of times through the years with friends, family, Amarillo College colleagues and students. Just so you know—I think of each of you every time I go.

This trip was special—new memories with new friends (relatively new). It’s another thing that makes walking fun. The same walk is never the same when you take it with different people.

On another note, since finishing the walking book, I’m searching for a new blog subject. Any suggestions?
