2008 Hikes

Not sure what 2008 holds for me. In November of last year I ran out the front door with my dog on leash. Unfortunately there was ice on the driveway and by the time I realized it, it was too late. I fell on my back and somehow managed to dislocate and break my ankle in 5 places.

It is now March and While I can walk again it is a long process of rehabilitation. I take it one day at a time and I'm being told that I'm recovering faster then is typical so that keeps me going. My current goal is to walk the 1 1/2 miles around the lake near my home. Other goals are for a 2-4 mile hike in the woods as soon as I'm ready. I don't really put a time on it. I just try to make as much progress as I can each passing week. So it could be spring or it could be last summer. Time will tell.

My other general goal is to make at least one backpack trip this year.

I look forward to posting some photos of that first hike!
