Nearly 4 years after surgery... a two-week trip to the desert southwest with a huge hike......

I hiked up a mountain in Albuquerque Friday, La Luz trail.  I have to repeat that... I Hiked Up a Mountain.  A real mountain, 10 miles, 6 hours, with a 4000 foot elevation gain. 

And here is me... the triumphant hiker...

Nearly four years after getting my life back... I Hiked Up a Mountain (and hiked partway down the Grand Canyon, and biked the Rio Grande River, and rafted, and...) 

If I can do this, anyone can do this.  Really.

That's just great, Audrey! Congratulations on a wonderful hike.

Great photo-proof you hiked ten miles (!), six hours (!) and thanks for saying any of us could do it, too.  I'll, ah, think about it.

Wow- that is amazing!

Awesome job, Audrey. So happy for you!!
