On Saturday 4/16/11 I came on a Northbounder I had seen in 2009 (see older 2009 post). Cimarron is a source of encouragement to all of us on the "long trails" of this land. He is now 88 years young, soon to be 89. I tried to picture myself at that age. To reach that point and to still be vertical would be a feat in itself. I certainly share his lifestyle - don't smoke, don't drink and stay active. In my opinion, it has served him well. Cimarron is not a person of physical stature but we all look up to him. Where we be at age 88, encouraging others or simply 'pushing up daisies'?
Keep hiking,
