I haven't been much of a hiker this year, and I don't know most of you, but I have to have some of Pats cookies. I MAY be dressed in a Saree, as I will be in Lexington for an event just prior! Sandy

I hit the downstairs consignment area at IME. Patagucci, EMS,REI Mammut, Mtn Hardwear,etc. Dirt cheap. The items are used, but the good brands withstand the use. Mostly clothes, but I scored my backpack and ice climbing boots there. I hardly buy any new stuff anymore. Can't justify the price.

I guess I never even thought of the Rocky Branch Trail as smooth. Kinda like the Dry River Trail is an oxymoron! Sandy

Mucho Mazels to you. I wish you a long and happy life together. Sandy

Thanks Sabrina: Sent you a PM. Out and about again!!!! Sandy

Hey Jennifer: A rocky trail is harder for me too, and I can't even imagine what it must be like without sight, even with a tired guide dog! I'm impressed with this guy's accomplishments. Makes my hardships seem like nothing. Sandy

Thanks for your suggestions! My husband's feet and my new knee thank you! Keep them coming! Sandy

Too Funny!!!!

Ok. Stop laughing. I know that most of our beloved routes to the views are not really trails but stone staircases. I am interested in learning which trails are kinder to the feet. I understand that rocks are everpresent, but am interested in trails that might have less of the jagged slippery...

I got tired just reading your report! Congratulations! What's next?

Soooo Jealous! Jefferson gave me and my daughter a major run for our money. Seriously, it kicked our butts! Way to go Sage! Is Hugh going to teach the ladies to climb too? Sandy

Hey Bobby: How is your wife doing? Just thinking about all you have gone through and I hope things are looking better for you and your family. Sandy

You are looking awesome! Congratulations on your accomplishment. What is next? Sandy

I am sorry to hear this Nif. Occasionally more than one injection is necessary. I had mine under flouroscopy and luckily have (so far) good results. My pain is not totally gone but it is tolerable, and easily dispatched with Tylenol. Sorry about the spinal headache. Those are awful. Under...

It is certainly worth a try. It is usually done by a Pain Management doc. Ususally they are Anesthiologists, and some are affiliated with Ortho Docs. Some are independant. Get references. I just had my 1st done today, and I am optimistic, as I have had several 'trigger point' injections that...

Hey Sabrina! I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! Sent you a PM. Sandy

Isn't 'Hike Naked Day' on June 21st?

Hiking renegades!!!

I always enjoy reading trip reports. You are a great team! Anew list to conquer... Go get at it! Sandy

I lived in the Valley for 3 years. I second Squaw, and if you do have the time, head for Sedona. This time of year it is hot in the Valley. Be sure to hike in the morning before the furnace really heats it up. Sedona is more temperate, and the Red Rocks are stunning. Wear sunscreen and a hat...
