July 2007 - The Hike for Lisa

To honor Lisa's wishes of having some of her ashes spread in the Sierra Nevada Range, her friends gathered at my house on the 2nd week in July.  We shuffled gear, packed 3 cars, then headed up to the Cottonwood Pass trailhead. Most of the background of this hike has been posted over at www.LisaStarrett.com  - so please click over there to read my entry.

Since that hike, I've thought about Lisa and miss her phone calls asking to "come up to Sacramento".  Besides her jubilant personality - and  flair for the dramatic - she was the matriarch of a group of friends that had grown tight during our effort to keep her comfortable.  Our circle had a mission and we worked diligently to give Lisa everything she needed. 

Life goes on, and so do the lives of our little group.  I hope they are all doing well, and hope Lisa is too.
