TCT #30 -- The Four Founders

Three of the Four Founders -- Robert Swift, Vonna Breeze-Martin & Deb Campbell (not pictured: Wendy)

On the Sugar Pine Railroad Grade-Strawberry Branch [Fraser Flat], July 2009

Tuolumne County Trailhead as an interactive radio show/hiking group is about three years old but actually was born 11 years ago, as a Facebook group.  It was intended as a meet-up space for hikers looking for partners.  Our first hikes were at the Red Hills and Fraser Flat with a core I've come to call "The Four Founders":  Vonna Breeze-Martin, Deborah Campbell, Robert Swift, and me.  The COVID-19 pandemic shelter-in-place order aroused fond memories of getting together with you Trail Heads.  Naturally, my mind drifted back to TCT's beginnings, and I decided to get the old group together again -- for a Zoom conversation.  Listen to us chat about the good old days, wax philosophical about the mental benefits of being in the outdoors, our plans for future adventures, and more.  Here's a link to the radio episode "TCT #30 -- The Four Founders": https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CGKy4SCqlTHGUxzKyiegacFBJVAExPas/view?usp=sharing

Also, hang in there Trail Heads -- Wendy's working on a plan to get out together:  more hikes in small groups.  Stay tuned!
