Farewell Vermont, Hello Cleveland!...John Muir, here we come!!

Our season in Vermont has come to an end. Many new friends, new skills, new perspectives, new ideas to take away from our time there. We will definitely miss the DuGrenier family, the animals, the fresh berries, honey, syrup...I should stop before I get sad.
But saying goodbye always means saying hello, and we've got to spend some quality time with our family here in Cleveland. Got to see all 3 of our nephews and our one and only beautiful niece. Went to the zoo, the museum and the park. So here's some pics to enjoy.


Is that John Muir?! Actually it's Lynea's dad getting ready for our John Muir Trail hike. Months of planning, preparation and training will meet the trail on Thursday as we enter the wilderness known as the Sierra Nevadas. The trail is over 200 miles, and we're gonna see how far we can get in 2 weeks. Will we come up against bears? Will our legs and feet hang in as we haul our 40+ pound packs? Will we find water? Animals? Ourselves? Stay tuned...dun,dun, dun.
The simple things.
Getting ready!
