Reply #17: Wow - I did not think you'd write back to me. I understand about the 4plus feet,

and I'm 60 as well, and not only that I had never been on a horse or a mule.
I'm of a frame of mind that says: if not now, when?

Once I was on the mule I did not know how to get off. I went down and down on paths that were so narrow, with drops to nirvana, and just kept talking to her.
"Brandy" you are my champ, I said. Please don't let this be the day we die.

I'm leaving in 2 days on a trip on I-40 crossing the country from the center of NC to Arizona, New Mexico and back. Camping in a VW camper. 3 weeks of bliss, hiking and photography.

Don't tell my buddies on the Photo Forum, so when I come back and start posting, it will be a surprise.
