Well, I’m finally getting ready to start physical therapy (PT) after surgery to fix my re-ruptured achilles tendon (again…sigh).  So,  I’m hoping to be on-track for being back in the mountains by the fall.  The timing would be good, as the temperatures will be back below 100 degrees, too.  I’ve been doing a lot of research on new areas to explore and have some great upcoming trips planned.  Even as I go through PT, it shouldn’t stop me from getting out into the desert and mountains.  Instead, I’ll just need to be a little more conservative when hiking, climbing & scrambling (at least until I get the strength & flexibility back in my leg).  So, keep checking back for new content.
