How is everyone doing on their goals for the upcoming season?
I received a disturbing phone call from my dad Tuesday after work. He said he blew his knee out “it’s as big as a volleyball” he stated. So that kind of sucks to say the least. He is still planning on going but he may just be the camp cook and do some fishing in the local streams.
As for me I think I am as ready as I think I can get (I know I’m missing something). I’ve been hiking at a local state park that has some big hills and have been averaging 700’ to 1200’ elevation gain on my hikes. I still would like to lose a few more pounds (da*n sweet tooth) but I am 25 down from where I started and about 10 away from my goal.
Good luck to everyone on their trips this fall as Jimbow65 said “less than a hand full of weeks” away. We’ll be headed out September 5th for our (my) first elk hunt.
