I realize that you may not find all these pics as interesting as I do - however, we just had our post trek fireside and part of that fireside was a DVD put to music of pics taken by our Historical Committee. Thanks to Kim and Lloyd Brinkerhoff - I now have so many more pics, more comprehensive than just my experience, and some of McKenna and Garrett with their families. So while I blog these pics - know that my life of trek is now officially one of just reflection, not of planning.
