I never tire of your magazine. I dive into each new issue eagerly anticipating splendid trail reports, photographs of scenery that stops me in my tracks (and the pics in the Four Pass Loops story, it also took my breath away) and of course, my favorite..The Drive Home. Makes me feel satiated, like after a Thanksgiving meal, when you push back from the table, smile and exhale with a big ahhhhh!

Thanks for putting together another great issue! Loved it all, especially Wired's interview and the Four Pass Loop hike, which we have planned for next Aug!

Belated congrats on lucky Issue 13! I am fortunate enough to have stumbled across TrailGroove from about the beginning. I hesitated at first, as I have previously noted, I'm not a real "joiner type", or a social media person. But the photos, articles, and interesting interplay on the forum are just too good to miss.

Again, great work, as always I'm already looking forward to the next issue.
