    Returning guy

    I think I should do the proper thing and re-introduce myself. I’ve been absent from the forum for about 3 years. Due to a major work upheaval then 3 eye surgeries over a few years, and no backpacking or even just a one night hang, I’m getting back at it, with doctor permission. 😜

    I have all my hammock stuff dusted off and tested out. Ready for fall.

    Been backpacking for 45 years (I’m only “39” years old”). Grew up in the Ouchitas and Ozarks.
    Then graduated to Oregon, Colorado, etc etc.

    Really looking forward to being in the community again.

    I’m affectionately calling myself One Old Goat these days. Wolf just doesn’t fit since my eye doc won’t let me run anymore. Glad to be back on the trails and under the trees.
    The beauty of sunsets,
    The wind in the pines,
    The mountains give these and more...
    Peace of mind.

    I know they can be over protective, but humor the Doctors, and take it easy. let it be enough to be out in nature again. Welcome back

    Happy wandering.

    Double E.... yes. Been humoring the specialists for 4 years. I’ve been a very good patient. Finally seeing results. Just finished a week long trip at 12,000 feet. 1st trip in years. Ah, it was glorious to be back out.
