Hart Hill: Mikey’s Coming!
Trip Date: June 2, 2025
Mike hadn’t been up to the property since last November, the last trip of 2024 so I was excited for him to get back up here. He plays the tuba in a number of bands in the Bay Area and so always has performances, but I was happy he finally decided to tell them he…

The kids never came up, but Kristen did a couple…
