People
The internet service is a total bum here at Far Horizons but the people are great. It's a "melting pot" of folks from all over the US and Canada. We have met so many people from Michigan--wonder why they are here? :) Sunday night there was the annual COWI potluck. (California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho) All state groups have dinners. We were talking to folks before dinner--some kind of ice-breaker time. Kit discovered that a man sitting at our table actually taught school with his father back in the 50's. Small world.
So now we've met some people from the northwest as well as people who seem to overlap a lot of the activities we've done. Today we went out with the "Hardy Hikers" group of the hiking club. It was a brisk pace up the trail Kit and I did last week. It was a relatively short hike, followed by lunch at the Tanque Verde (dude) Ranch. So we met more people, ate a huge lunch, and lolled around all afternoon.
weather note: The temperature today was 76. But a big cool down is coming on Thursday so we will do some more hiking tomorrow.
