I hear you KayakDan.
My best hiking buddy is my wife. We both did the 48’s together and she matched me step for step. The only down side is that she prefers to ski in the winter and not hike, so I take a Friday off occasionally and go hiking with my friend John, who also skis with us.
It is comforting to not only have a spouse that shares your love of the outdoor, but having a friend who does as well is nothing short of a gift from God. In the winter, my wife and I ski with John and his wife Paula every Saturday and Sunday. Come spring we hang up the skis and go hiking every weekend. Although Paula doesn’t hike, she understands what it means to John and openly encourages his participation. If you look up the term Salt of the Earth, you will see her picture.
Family does not have to be blood related. Family are the people closest to you and make life worth living.
