13 years ago today you left us. You are missed very much. We have not been able to put you in as many places as we would have liked as this has been a wacky year. But we have been able to leave you in a few places before travel was stopped. Superstition Mountain, Arizona - Canyon Lake Vista in the Tonto National Forest, Arizona - Carmen Island, Loreto Bay, Mexico - Saint Barthelemy, French Virgin Islands - Kialua, Hawaii - and Mount Greylock, Massachusetts. Hopefully 2021 will allow us to follow your wishes a lot more. Luv ya, miss you
