Feeling low...
No--it's not the rain....
You may have noticed that we haven't posted any trip reports yet this summer--and there is a reason for that. We've had two different hikes on our agenda, and we've had to cancel both of them because I have been under the weather.
And today, after two weeks of lesser drugs and numerous doctor's visit, we now know that it is more than just the lingering after--effcts of all that air travel. It's pneumonia.
The good news? New drugs and some enforced rest should lead to a relatively speedy cure.
We're aleady looking at the calendar and allowing our thoughts to wander to distant mountains and thin air...
Cough cough.
Maybe wait a week.

Re: Feeling low...
It's hard to be laid up when you have mountain plans. While you dream of trips to come,
rest up! hope you feel better soon.

Best wishes. I am glad they figured out what was going on before it got worse. You'll be out there before you know it!

Hope you feel better. Sometimes resting is hard when you want to be in the mountains. Luckily they will be there waiting for you.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
