    Dear Alden: Thanks for send­ing me your lat­est blog on canyoneer­ing Mid­dle Earth! I was in Yosemite with my sis­ter, Patrice, about 3 weeks ago hik­ing up to Vogel­sang and we were remind­ed again of you and how we met you on the John Muir Trail that sum­mer. It’s so excit­ing to get caught up with your lat­est activ­i­ties! I just watched your film on Canyoneer­ing and was amazed at what you are doing, hap­py to see you on film in live action, hear your voice, and espe­cial­ly proud of how you are focus­ing your mes­sage on encour­ag­ing peo­ple to take care of our earth! It was won­der­ful to hear from you again! Best to you, Hil­da and Patrice, the Twins

      Hey Hil­da & Patrice! Great to hear from you two! Glad you enjoyed the update and video. I’ve been slack­ing a lit­tle on the blog, but am try­ing to get back into post­ing some­thing every week. And per­haps fin­ish­ing the JMT posts. :-) Life’s been pret­ty busy with all the trips I’ve been tak­ing, and of course I got­ta work every now and then to fund every­thing. I think of you two every time I see a lodge­pole pine and explain the “L” of the pine nee­dles and the “corn­flake bark” to some­one. And then there’s the Moun­tain Hem­lock I remem­ber you describ­ing as the “Wiz­ard Hat”. I make it a point to try and find and iden­ti­fy them when I’m up in the Sier­ra. Glad you both are are still get­ting out, Vogel­sang is still on my list of places to check out. As always great­ly appre­ci­ate hear­ing from you two.
