THE HIKE VI

For those of you who've followed for ahwile, you're familiar with the Fine Linen Family and our many adventures and expeditions. The great anual 20 mile HIKE being one of them.
Here's a little backstory: To combat PPDD (post-production depression disorder) several years ago, about 20 cast members decided one lovely spring afternoon to hike from the theatre to the Nisbetts, which was about 20 miles. Since then, the annual HIKE has grown (including a HIKE T-shirt, a potluck dinner at the destination, and other traditions,) for six years, with over 80 participating last year.
So enjoy some pictures of the amazing fun we had yesterday on this year's HIKE.
How I love this awesome group of people!
