   What if I need some family financial planning?
           One of our favorite Trail Guys, Robert Malpeli, is
    our official Trail Dames lawyer.  This past year, he
    donated his time and considerable expertise to the
    Dames and helped us become incorporated.  
        Trail Dames truly could not have done this without
    him.  He is an extremely experienced financial planner
    does all manner of family planning including wills and
    estates.  You can reach him at

Leki Poles
                   Want to enhance your balance and protect
    your knees?  We recommend Leki hiking poles on all
    hikes!  You can't beat the quality and service and they
    will make your hike a hundred times easier and more
    successful!  Just say 'no' to the cheap, fake poles that
    you see at giant discount poles....they are a sure way
    to end up hurt.  And, no, we aren't working for, or
    getting paid by Leki!!  :)  I just have 15 years of
    experience with their product and really believe in it!
