When I lived in Fountain Hills, AZ my husband and I loved hiking. I certainly miss it now that we're back in California, so your post brought back some great memories. And it's reassuring and almost disturbing at the same time how easy it can be to disconnect from our online world and just let it slide. As if it never existed in the first place. Makes you wonder at the futility of blogging, eh?

It is good to know that even the well respected "pros" of online community sometimes gt sick of it and revert back into themselves. I often myself in this recoiled state of self-reflection. Then eventually uncoil myself and get back into the swing of things.
