    In 21 minutes of this video, there was more drama, storytelling, suspense, action, and exceptional cinematography than the last three Disney Star Wars movies combined. Great video Erik. Thank you.

    Fantastic! Great scenery. There is nothing like early Spring. The rebirth of life, the sun rising higher in the sky, the warmth coming down on the cold earth, longer days, birds singing in the early morning, the awakening. It is a phenomenon that may be unmatched anywhere in the Universe. Never take it for granted. You will not get to experience it even a 100 times in your life. Take the time to appreciate each one. Peace to all of you.

    I agree with your assessment of trail runners. If the load isn't too heavy, weather and trails are easy, really worth wearing. I used to over use boots too.
    I run and exercise with minimalist foot wear all the time now, so it's a logical choice for me.
