1) Vanity
2) Safe archive of personal photos, travelogues and musings
3) A (weird) kind of communication with friends & family
4) Connecting with friends I haven’t met yet
5) Sharing valuable info on Gymnastics Coaching and Hiking

I tell you this because I got “tagged”.

Russ Beebe, Founder of the California Wine Hikes site – is known on the intertubes as The Wine Hiker. (Drink in his wine hiking blog.)

I know what you are thinking …

If you have wine, why hike?

(A good question, Russ.)

I tell you all about Russ this because Russ has “tagged” me in one of those internet games for people who have too much time free in their real lives.

I answer the question, “Why do I blog?”, then tag 5 other suckers bloggers.

I inflict pay forward this question on to:

Ron at For Your Approval
Kate at Kate of Late
Rick at Nude Hiker
Rogier at Blue Peak

And a NEW friend …

Sandra at Florida Hikes
