Chris, I am sadden in learning the passing of Jim. I will always hold a fond memory of Jim and my relationship with the Manning family. I offer to you and your family all my respect and sympathy. Dewey Dean, New Bern, NC
Our family hiked the Lil Rattler yesterday then went to the top of Teeofrnodt . What great views from up there . When friends come to town I always take them to the top of Tenderfoot for a look see . Just another reason I think Salida is the best place to live .
