Posted on November 20, 2024January 17, 2025 by Shannon Leader

My Kind Of Triathlon

Posted on August 2, 2024November 17, 2024 by Shannon Leader

I think I have mentioned a few times that the process of having to fix the website last year gave me the goal this year to get back to some of the hikes I have not visited in years.  That is why you saw me at Barclay Lake and the East Fork Foss River at…
