High Sierra Topix

Thanks, Geezer! I was recently looking at the "bear" pix. That was pretty exciting. Definitely don't want to "undo" everything at this point. I just got my season pass for Mammoth transferred to next season! I didn't get to use it and got a doctors note, so I was happy to pay a little and not the full $576. Hoping to get the ok to drive after tomorrow. Haven't heard from Del, but Steve is here.

Thanks, Hetchy. You're so sweet! Buck has awesome pix! Mine are just a photo journal. Point and shoot. That's why I didn't bother putting anything in the photo contest. Too many good photographers here. Getting out every weekend is a lifestyle for me. My weekends are minimum of 200 mi one way, and two nights out or that breaks my streak. Its been tough getting rides to keep the streak going. Tomorrow I find out if I can drive. If so, I'll rent a car and do some real hiking. Like my friend TomG says: "don't stop climbing".

Hopefully, this will be the last of the rehab part of this year.

Cool registers!

Cori, it's nice to see how well you're doing (and we get cool pictures of the Sierra snow as a bonus)! You're further along than I was at this point after my surgery, and I was well ahead of schedule. The key is disobeying the doctor's orders. After all, pushing the limits is what keeps us going.
