Every Morning there were bunches of us that

would walk our 2-3 miles but I had to get this

die-hard Hiker, water backpack and all...this is

Taylor, Brians sister.....the only vegetarian in the

group, poor thing had to listen to all the hunting,

killing animals, processing meat, jerky tasting, stories

KUDOS to you Taylor.....I wish I had her self-discipline!

We are already taking and planning next years Reunion!

Franklin, North Carolina is on the table....all I can say is

"Yeah, I can't wait...hiking, kayaking, waterfalls, the GEM

Capitol of the Nation, we might be doing some mining!"

I had a blast, the boys were kinda depressed on the way home

but we have HOPE for Christmas for another family gathering

where we can coach and inspire others to JOIN us! We missed

Uncle Rob and Little Billy big time.....heres to NEXT YEAR!
