When we were at the beach --and did a lot of walking in that area, we talked about how much easier flat ground is.... PROUD of you, Diane!!!!

No wonder you haven't had time to read or post much since then (thinking, if it had been me I'd probably still be recovering)... but you are obviously in better shape. Wonderful views all along, especially at the top; I know you were really happy you made it. Those narrow passages remind me of some hikes we've done in the Southwest US -- but we were much younger back then.
