Steve,
My name is Joni(sounds like Johnny)even though I am new to the board my history with the great outdoors is full of wonderful discoveries mixed with potential disasters.
Sorry for your injury but you posted a great story and I have shared it "including the bloody pics" with various friends and family. Everyone has enjoyed it.
Thanks for all of your postings,willingness to accept new comers and great information which is truly helpful.
Hoping to gain a permit for Mt.Whitney this summer.Living near sea level is not much help for the altitude but I am going to drag my husband on every high altitude hike that can be reached on a weekend even if he has to let me out and follow in his 4 wheel drive.
Joni
