I've been mopping up these gorgeous November days taking hundreds of final photos and am eager to finish polishing off the writing and editing the photos down. Huge thanks for the endless encouragement of friends and family as this has come together!
Notley Hawkins and Terry Barner and many others have contributed many wonderful, top-notch photos and stories for the book. What a great story to tell and trail to explore!
