I'd set out from I-5 heading north in June 1994.  I was 42 years old.  My
ex-fiancee - really good friend - and I had planned to hike Oregon and
Washington.  We'd spent 30 days hiking from Lassen to South Tahoe the
previous summer.  I blew out an ACL to end our hike.  She'd never hiked
before and I taught her everything I know.  We were truly hiking partners.
