Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.
Great to hear the wonderful news that the surgery went well, Mike!! June 30th will be here before you know it, and you'll be out on the trails in no time. Good for you, Mike!
