Thanks for the welcome, Hooch. I hope to hook up with many of the folks I see on this site. Since I am retired, I have a fairly free schedule and am looking for some folks to camp and hike with. By the way, my doc says I can I need to take it easy for several weeks and get the inflamation down, but getting back on the trail should be doable if I take it slow for a few weeks. The good news is that makes the SEHHA hangout in June at Hot Springs on my list of to dos.

I have not decided where to go yet, but if the wife comes it will have to be a fairly short hike in. I am thinking about the Koomer Ridge area.

Welcome to the forum. Another Kentucky hanger. Yay.

Are we still on for tommorrow in the Gorge?

Failed hammocking weekend altogether.

Went to a friends house Friday night and decided to setup behind their house. 10 minutes after setting up there was a flash of lighting so bright I thought someone had stuck a camera in my face. It was followed by thunder so loud it left my ears ringing. I could smell ozone I decided to break down and had 2 more lighting flashes before I got back to the house.

On Saturday, my wife backed out (big surprise

) on me and I was going alone but after driving though heavy rains on the way there, I turned around and came home. It continued to rain on and off until early this morning so it would have been a very wet night and I bet the trails were small creeks.
