Good for you, Lee! So glad you took that "More Difficult"
trail. Many times, the trails I have problems with are those
that are very steep, no steps, but covered in loose shale.


Unsteady footing can definitely be a problem. I have several stories of places I've gone and was thinking I've got to get out of this but going back wouldn't be easy either. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't. Even if I were the same age as back then. Stupid, stupid on my part. Ended up using my hands to help out.

Again, beautiful images, Lee, and I love the work done on the new steps!


Thanks so much for your kind words re: our backyard steps. Although we made the initial steps, we didn't do the redo. Yard workers were already repairing the mess they made digging the sewer so we decided to have them continue. They were young and actually seemed to enjoy carrying the 50 - 70 lb. blocks. It was fun to see them running to get more and sang as they worked.

P. 37 Steve, These pictures are incredible!!! Not only wonderful pictures but the subject is worthy too. The place was so grandiose for an admin. building for a prison. One can imagine how beautiful this place was.

Your right to be worried about the "disappearing" trails. It worries me too, especially when I am on a new trail, solo.

Ditto.

The new stones are gorgeous, as well as the captures of them. It has to be loads of work to construct them and also keep up the beautiful garden.

We didn't actually lay the new stairs and wall. Instead, we had it done and the young workers were eager to do it. Ahhhh...youth!!

Sorry so slow to reply Lee! Don’t remember the layout exactly but the falls are to the left of the stairs in the shot.

The internet gives you conflicting information. Originally Synvisc, which is made from the comb of a rooster, is the "standard" for knee pain NOT caused by "bone-on-bone." However, now I'm reading that Synvisc is approved for hip, shoulder and even spine, although I would strongly urge anyone reading this to do their own research, talk to multiple health care providers, etc.

When Synvisc first came out on the market, it was a three shot regimen, which really worked well for me for YEARS! My present condition is caused by worsening osteoarthritis in one knee. Now they have a newer version called Synvisc-One that, you guessed it, is a one shot regimen.

That said, most of my research indicates that a newer product, called Hyalgan actually has an even better track record than Synvisc. That is what my doctor and I will be discussing when I go back in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned, but ALWAYS research multiple sources.

Tim,
I'm going to mention this Synvisc and update Hyalgan treatment. He has had a problem with one of his shoulders for some time. He didn't want surgery but maybe this will be of interest.

Pat, thank you so much for the compliments and support!

But I must say, if anyone has "faithful participation," it
most definitely is you and Lesley! So thank you both!
