Hello Lanny, In general I am healing quickly. Sleep is still tough as each night I need to find a new position for either horizontal or upright sleeping, its nuts and tiring. Horizontal is a new thing for me as for the first 1.85 weeks I could not find a comfortable position. I still have some odd 'kinks' in my back likely from unusual sleeping positions.
I'm actually thinking that IF I can get myself into really great physical condition then I might take a backpacking trip into 'My Canyon' for labor day, 10 days for 4 days of vacation. I've one main site I wish to check out and a secondary if the first does not show color. I'd guess I will spend the entire time at the first as it is a mix of sniping, digging, exploring and fishing, the second is strictly digging/detecting. IF I do this I will have my Batpan and a super mini BGT with me, of course I have to purchase the latter.
