    More backpacking, the titanium hip is golden :D

    No argument, here, though he does seem to have a tendency to discomfort in the hips, as many a shepard breed shows. The reality is, an active life from puppyhood on, and attention to food portion control so the weight nevers gets to be an issue...truth to tell, same as we humans should do for...

    Always...near 40 years I've been here in the PNW, moved from my "country" of birth down south as a young adult, seeking exactly what I have found...the mountains never get blase' for me, Cory. No, Chris...make it so by planning and actively seeking the path to your vision. You have the...

    Actually, he didn't say it was cool at all Butch. But he accepted my choices in the matter, with reservations and some warnings. After all, I hired him to do the work, not run my life. He also acknowleged that I do not fit the profile of his average patient. No other health issues, no excess...

    That's outwash of glacial material that gets transported by snow melt rivers off the mountain over the centuries, Butch...called moraines; boulders the size of houses down to grains of sand.

    We had, for reasons beyond understanding, never hiked up in the Mt. Adams Wilderness in all our years living just a few hours south of there. Not a mistake to make, friends :). Lovely 5 day's trip up to and above timberline...this is a BIG mountain, well over 12,000 feet above sea level, huge...
