One Last Hoorah

So this past weekend we said goodbye to the seasonals, going to God knows where, Barb, going to Olympic, and Jay, our EMS coordinator extraordinaire, going to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was emotional, but mostly we just drowned our sorrows in Jameson and tasty beverages from local brewing establishments. Needless to say, the 12 mile hike up and over Hurricane Pass we did the following day was painful to say the least. I'll get pics posted from that soon. It was a fantastic gathering typical of the Highlands--- Grills, burgers, brats, lots of dogs, fire jumping, you know, the usual. Regardless of where we all end up, we will all truly miss the folks at the Highlands. The photos of the crew are, from top to bottom... ((Jay, Barb and I (and Todd adding a little something special)), ((Jess, Kari, and Aimee)), ((Jess, Larry, Don, and Jeanne)), and ((Clay and Aimee)). Good times were had by all and we all counted ourselves lucky to have spent time with such an all star group of people for at least one last season...
