Now what am I going to read with my morning cuppa? Loved your tour and looked forward to each new installment. Photos, videos, narrative - all over the top.

5 years agoThanks for coming along, Bill. Sorry I didn’t find more for you on this tour. Thousands of lizards, but all the same.
5 years agoEnjoyed the journey!
5 years agoSo, not in Andalucia apparently. Maybe down your way some winter though - New Zealand was our first overseas tour, and we keep threatening to go down again and see what 25 years and Middle Earth have done to the place.
Sadly, I didn’t keep a journal of our first tour of Andalucia - at least not one that survived the ages. I went through a period when I quit keeping them, because I always ran out of steam along the way anyway and no one but me was reading them. Posting them on the internet changed everything though and helped me find a bit more discipline. It’s too bad, because this one had a lot to talk about. One of these times maybe I’ll piece something together from the photographs.
Thanks again for following along, Carolyn. Have an awesome time this autum!
Yes, I agree. Rachael is ways after me to get out the door earlier. She makes a good point.
5 years agoPretty fine way to end the tour, alright. Thanks for following along!
5 years agoYes! Well worth the early start.

Good choice to slow down and stay safe. They look like they have the potential to be menacing.
Well, that was a great song, I've gotta say! I can't imagine having the breath to talk, let alone sing, while climbing like that!
5 years agoHi Scott,
Hope you're both settling into life back in Portland. What a great trip you've had. We're going to be in Andalusia in October so we'll be back n NZ before you even begin. It will be fun to read your report. I suppose you'll be planning that one for the next couple of months. I do very much enjoy the planning part personally.
I finished reading your Iberia report and your NZ report! Such fun to read - worth the effort you've put in. Someone like me on the other side of the world stumbles upon it and is inspired. Looking forward to reading more.
Did you write a trip report on your 2004 trip to Andalusia?
What a fabulous final ride. Stunning!
5 years agoIt is his secret power!!
5 years agoOK. This isn’t the last post.
Great idea for the next HAC meet-up! And yes, the horse was a real stroke of luck. I think Rachael had just awakened the camera seconds before.
Nope, just boring old steel. Not much of a hidden message here, other than a hint about next month’s challenge.
