Love the poem from "Eddee" !
I always heard--"You aren't old until your dreams turn to regrets!"
At 69, my wife & co-pilot Syl (65) today completed the fourth of 5 USFWS Federal Bird Survey Routes we do every summer. 3 up in the NLP & 2 downstate here. 50 stops every 1/2 mile opening & closing the big Crown Vic. door, unsnapping and snapping the seat belt each time. Start at 5:22 AM prompt, finish about 11AM Talk about tired! We just keep on doing things like this though (even though I admit I do have many regrets!)
They have one route up in Crystal Falls they want me to do but just can't handle the gasoline expense--otherwise I'd be all for it! The one we do in the Huron Nat'l Forest we camp at a Forest Campground that is near the start point.
Which comes to mind ---how many know the DNR recently discontinued the Senior camping discounts at Forest Campgrounds! HUMBUG!
It's now $20 a night (most campgrounds) young or old, single car or huge camper!
SO---As I said on the Cam Notes page---"Lets hear it for the saucy ladys!" 3 cheers!

Mikie Big Macs are not the same as a Cosmic burger, that's the problem. It's all about the kind of grease they use. :)

My motto is Fit By Fifty! I have six months to get there and then I'm going to throw myself a great big birthday party with lots of dancing.
