Thank you Eric! Howie and I have these conversations most nights before hitting the hay, it doesn't at all surprise me that you and Raymi have similar discussions:)

Is it over? I don't know! The bickering certainly isn't.

Speaking of hikes being the best- I saw a clip of North Minnesota right now and WOW. Fall is popping out here now, and it's pretty, but wherever that was in your state looked like a fantasy drawing! I think it would be incredible to one day road trip across the northern US when the leaves are changing :)
