A Busy Spring is Gonna Turn Into a Busy Summer

So, we are right in the middle of a busy spring.  Emily just got back from Missouri where she was working on wedding plans and a hiking guide, and JD just got back from Mexico where he conquered his first 17 thousand foot plus peak.  JD has an AMGA training and then a knee surgery in April along with a Challenge Course Practitioner Training in May.  Emily is sooo close to wrapping up her first year of teaching and cannot wait for the summer!  We are also expecting one new book contract soon from Falcon Guides for a Best Hikes Near Albuquerque book.

By the end of May we'll be heading to Springfield, MO to finish up a hiking guide there so we can turn right around and co-instruct an Expedition Backpacking class for San Juan College near Taos, NM.  Right after that class we'll head back to Missouri for our wedding (it only took 7.5 years!) and then we'll honeymoon in the Ozarks where we'll be wrapping up hiking guide NUMBER SIX.  While all of that is going on, we'll be spending weekends in and around Albuquerque working on guide number 7 and waiting to see if we get offered an 8th book which will be a rewrite of the Falcon Guides Leave No Trace pocket book.

Oh, did I mention we will probably be in Cody, WY in August?
