one local woman's battle with cancer, and how she is not only sur-
viving, but thriving. The practice of yoga played a major role in her
recovery, and she wants to share this form of treatment with other

epic journey: El Camino Primitivo:
This issue we take you to Spain. The Camino or "Way" is for many a
spiritual or religious pilgrimage done via walking. There are several
sections, and on this journey we follow along with the author on her
320 km walk. She begins with an open mind to what the walk will
show her, and in the end she is rewarded with new friendships and
an adventure of transformation.

Champlain Valley Trails:
The Champlain Valley is a unique and beautiful part of the Adiron-
dacks with its shoreline, lush valleys, and lots of friendly hiking
trails. The Champlain Area Trails organization—or CATS, as they
are known—has helped create 53 miles of hiking trails. They have
worked hard with private owners to make this network of fami-
ly-friendly trails possible. Spring is a great time to hike in this partic-
ular area, as trails tend to dry out faster.
