WHEW!!! Glad you are OK! Sounds way too exciting! And, trucks bearing down on you!

Jim, if you don't get your wheels back in time for the hike *AND* you still want to do it, I have a house in Saxonburg just south of Butler. I can stay there Thursday night and pick you up in Kittanning on Friday...? No problem for me.

Thanks for offer i will let you know if needed I don't want to disappoint the group . The body work is easy getting money saved up for tires I thought I could squeeze by without is the problem . Bought to much gear lately took my wad .

Jim, Sorry to read about your accident but I am glad to hear that you are ok. If the trip has to be postponed or canceled so be it. You have to take care of yourself first and for most. Everything else is secondary.

Here is the scout and the after math not that bad could have been worse.

Jim, so glad you are ok and got home safe and sound!

Hope things work out ok with the vehicle. Thanks for your time scouting the area. A fine place for winter fun. We'll just keep watching the thread and see how it turns out. Look forward to meeting up with you any time.

Continued to snow up here in Potter Co until about supper time. Roads south were not plowed at all this morning for me to get down in time. Gear and food was packed and in the truck so decided to spend the day out on local trails. When I left the woods a little after 3 pm there was about 10 or 12 inches of fresh powder with more coming.

Great video! Thanks for doing the boots on the ground scouting for us. I feel bad that your vehicle got damaged. In the video you mentioned a time or two that your back was hurting. This could be a delayed effect of the driving mishap. Once again I want to emphasize that this hang is not that important. Do not overextend yourself either physically or financially.

I have inflamed discs on occasions Terry have been having some back pain all week so not accident related thanks for asking
