Surgery Recovery!!

Saturday dawned bright and sunny - to me, just about as perfect weather as a person can get.  The doctor had told me the day before in a "post-op" appointment that I shouldn't play football or anything, so I followed his directions.  However, it was just too nice not to climb a mountain.

 Little streams intersect the trail at various points.  This one was pretty with the sun on it.

After trudging up to the top, the views are nice.  Here's looking off toward the extinct volcano, Mt. Edgecumbe.

We hiked to Fenner's Point, named after a hiking friend who often turned around right here.  We did too.  The trail continue with a little dip and then climbs the ridge you see on the left.  The top of that is also a nice spot, at times, to survey the world.  Sometimes the wind is howling and you just want to get off the bloody thing.

The walking was good - a pretty hard crust with a inch or two of "starting to melt" snow on top.  I was awfully careful not to fall - didn't want to tear the stitches.

Make sure you take "grippers" though.  They make all the difference for secure footing.

It was a glorious day.
