    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    this is what I used when I had ankle surgery last June. People stared at me everywhere I went, but I got to use both arms! . Shouldve gotten a titanium anodized version.

    Is that a bag of ice on your ankle? Man, that is pretty heavy stuff for an ultralight camper like you.

    Thankfully, I've only had one major surgery, and that was after I blew out my left ACL and had my knee rebuilt. That was 26 years ago, and the knee is holding up nicely! It's not 100% percent like it was before, but it works.

    Great to see the progress! You don't need lighter transportation, you need a side by side with a big motor and great suspension.

    That has to be nice being back in the woods. Keep up the hard work as you've already come a long way and you are certainly looking better?
