The heart of a mutt is the heart of a lion, showing the hubrid vigor that makes him stronger than the sum of his component parts!!!" (pg. 7, Just Mutts by Steve Smith & Gene Hill) Let' …

Since this has generated some interest from people who are not members of Traildames I'm going to waive that requirement for now.  We'll see how it goes! My goal in forming this group was to get ME out and hiking again, as I've gotten WAY out of shape and I'm not good at being self-motivated.  That's why I'm not requiring RSVP's for the hikes.  If I don't know if anyone will be there or not, I'll HAVE to get out there anyway!
