Been a year since the Bells have all been together…and what a year that was. So special being together…yesterday Lucia (Matriarch) led all of us. Erik (24) and Alexis, Kristian (23) and Kayte, and Sonja (16) through the foothills around Breckenridge… what a great day!

  • Lucia leading the charge!
  • Bell family ++
  • Besties..
  • Erik and Alexis

I have been thinking a bit about the book “Into the Wild” (Jon Krakaur) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Wild_(book) The story of  Chris McCandless (Alexander Supertramp) who walked into the bush of Alaska where he lived for 100+ days. He was searching for meaning…and in the end he found it through all of his searching..it was love and relationships. Unfortunately Chris was not able to make it out of the bush — the flooding of the Teklanika river prevented his return to society. I think Chris would have loved our hike yesterday…
