    Lovely hike, Phil with stunning views from the high ground. The big 🐝's think so too! We enjoyed seeing the various mountains and gorgeous wildflowers throughout. It's great you keep yourself active. Add 20 years and everything will start falling apart if you don't. People are different, but sadly it may anyway. That being said I've seen people into their 90's as strong as an ox! Enjoyed the stroll.
