Come Camp at a Room With a View

“I'd be just a bit more worried if I heard that!!! LOL”

“Well thanks to a few zip lock bags full of ice, the swelling in my knee has finally gone down. Ibuprophen is also great medicine to have around too. I should have been more realistic in how much I could do on what was my first trip out this year. Oh well! It was a beautiful trip. I'm just kind of sorry that I was the reason that JS and lilforest hung back. Next time.... I'm hoping it will be better and to help insure that it is, I've faced up to the fact that I need to get real about my health and loose some serious weight. That proccess is already under way and it pleases me to report that as of this morning, I've dropped 9 pounds. My ultimate goal is to get to 185, but I'm not going to wait till I get there to start hiking again.
I would like everyone to know that I really appreciate Jackstraw and lilforest for hanging back with me. I was really helpless as far as moving faster was concerned (my leggs just wouldn't move anymore). They could have easily caught up with the main group, yet they choose not to. You guys are the greatest! I'm looking forward to the day that I can do something to help you in return. If anyone out there gets an opportunity to hike with these guys, you're in good company! Thank you sooooooo much!”

“Nice Post RD, Good luck with loosing weight, I hope to do this same trip soon.”
