In the late 80s we would go on caving trips in the Guadalupe Mountains in New Mexico. Well, sometimes caving, but also a lot of walking around in the heat looking for caves. Near the end of one such hike someone said something about the abundance of flowers. I scoffed with the fake bravado of an ignorant young man. John said simply, "I like flowers." I reconsidered my position going forward.
My home is in Colorado now. When I go for a hike, it's not the highest peaks I seek. I want to see something along the way. I like flowers. Thanks, John, for the inspiration!
