I will be retiring as co-leader of the Hoofers at the end of the year. I will still hike with the group, but it is time to let another of our hikers join Vic in leadership. Vic does a lot of the heavy lifting and is a great mentor, so don’t think leadership is beyond your abilities. We have several hikers who would be able co-leaders so give it some consideration and let us know if you are interested. Thanks. —gdy
