Switchback the Double Knee Replacement Pirate replies: I will be over in the eastern Sierras on my motorcycle trike the last week in April.  I will be scouting backpacking expedition locations for later on.  I know I am going up Mt. Whitney in August with my new hiking kit setup.  Nice.

Switchback,
Get better soon,...I hope you have a full recovery and are able to blaze
down the trails like you used to.

OK you guys,....wish Switchback a speedy recovery,... he has done a lot for
the hiking community, especially the "Thru-Hiker" community.

I know how you feel Switchback,....seems like as we get older the body
becomes more fragile and vulnerable to injury.
In my younger days I used to have high speed  skiing crashes, get up and
keep on going....no problem.
Now that I am older, it looks like every time I have a high speed crash
something brakes ore tears.
14-15 years ago, ruptured disk from a fall in the Grand Canyon.
13-14 years ago reconstructive shoulder surgery on the left shoulder
from a high speed ski crash.
10-11 years ago same  on the right shoulder.
8-10 years ago Arthroscopic surgery on my right knee, probably due to
to many miles on the trail.
I am like an old "Tom Cat" all beat up and cut up, take a liking but 
keep on
ticking.
Like I said,....wishing you a speedy recovery....you can't keep a good man
down.
