Shellie's comment from Facebook:
My HikaNation "family" that Janet gathered around her from Day 4 of The Hike to today,
consisting of "Sis, Little Sis, Bro, Tall Bro, Little Bros, Ma and Pa." More folks to cherish.

Left to right identifications:
Toni Martinazzi - Ma,   Tim Geoghegan - Little Bro,   Jerri Hudson - Little Sis,
Marika Matyus - Sis,   Randy Blymire - Tall Bro,   Howard Gilby - Little Bro,
Shellie Newell,   Dave Backus - Bro,   Janet Parsons - Sis,   Joe Shute - Pa
