This day followed a wet spell warmed so a hike to thru Spirit Trail was possible. Joining us was a collage of Elders, all levels of mobility but one surprisingly strong collection of determination. We were about 12 in all, scouts out front to reduce a bear encounter, some in the middle to assist over the barriers of stumps, logs and windfall, those in the back keeping pace with the ones that cared to take it all in at a slower more careful pace. Sticks and poles in hand we had an amazing trek, stopping at the grove at the furthest point before we looped around to journey back. Smiles at the end and stories of past hikes and journeys of all kinds. We are blessed with Elders that grace us with their wisdom and the lessons of time.
