My First Seat-of-the-Pants Vacation

 The next time I’m planning a trip, I’m going to try to stay loose and not get too wrapped up in scheduling every stop and every minute. Because odds are, if I just stop and ask someone along the way that “what’s the one thing…” question, I’ll find something wonderful that I’d never imagined in the first place.

Pat, Robert and I will absolutely never forget you and Jackie!! Along with the gorgeous views and my terror of heights and the feeling that I was going to blow out a knee by the time we got back to the parking lot, you two were amazingly memorable! Thanks so much for taking our picture! Mary

My friend, Jackie, and I were fellow hikers the day Mary and Robert were treking up Lassen Peak. In fact, we snapped the photo you published. What an awesome experience! We met Robert on the peak, and shared the exhilaration of just being there. I hope you remember the girls from Florida in Gator shirts! Aren't you glad you decided to "wing it"??!!
