Good article and photos Kim! Sounds like my kind of hike. We have had some really hot weather here also. Today, however, is cool and raining. Would you be interested in being an editor for the publication, I could use some help? There are more and more writers submitting articles which is good. If you want to, I will add you as an editor. Usually I don't make many changes to articles, except there is one writer who is not very good with the English language, obviously not their main language.
