Intro

On a quest to pay homage to Rich, for his skillful and dedicated facilitation of monthly hikes for 20+ years, for so many of us hikers, I chose the annual group trips to the East Sierra, as the best hiking examples in my collection.

History  - We usually stayed four nights and in our early years the group, often 12 or more, camped at Toms Place or the Mammoth city campground further south on 395, and we drove to local trail heads. In our 'mature years' we stayed in cabins at 7,500 to 9,000 ft elevations. Those were the best hiking experiences, when the trailhead was just outside the cabin door, often leaving at 8 am and not back until 3 or 4 pm. 

Rich always provided hikers with maps and trail descriptions from his extensive guidebook collection. And out on the trail Rich was the guide and source of plant info (he had a degree in Botany from Stanford).    

I decided to use 2010 as a starting point, perhaps because that's when Linda appeared, immediately improving Rich's life, well, and others too.
