I missed a chance at first tracks in WV this week, but did get to do this,

Outstanding Denis. You climbed a mountain in more ways than one.

yes, double double-ditto - very impressive turnaround. just take a camera next time!

Denis,
So, 4 months after triple bypass, you did that hike!?
You da man!

Congrats Denis, that's quite a recovery.

Sadly, I think about all those folks who are too out of shape to enjoy something so simple as a stroll from the Clingman's Dome parking lot to the lookout tower. If you can do a hike like that after triple bypass, that says a lot about what some other people are doing to themselves these days.

Thanks friends for your kind remarks. It is really just a matter of regaining the ability to do the things I love. That is its own reward.

BTW, the trick is not in bringing the camera, it is in making sure it is charged.
