Nice looking country Ned, i`ve always wanted to live in the mountains.
Funny how the older we get the more things hurt isn`t it.

[Dryball]

Maybe we just become more alert to the pain we've always felt.

ooowweee looks like mighty fine country! beautiful beautiful.
ya done good.
I'll let ya in on a little secret; insoles...shhhh don't tell anyone. I always wear the plastic insoles that I had made to fit my feet to give support for my arches, they work great to stop the rocks too. shhhh don't tell, I want every one to think I'm a real mountainy man (whoops woman)!
nice kit there tomg!

wish i would have seen this sooner! you know ned, on my mocc's i use thick hard leather for the souls, with a wool insoul and soft leather on top. makes for a real comfey mocc. also considering the altitude i think you did great! not smart at your age, but great. and thats not meant to be an insult, its just that you really need to work up to it. i live at 7000ft these days and trek all the way up to 13,000ft. right after the first of the year me and a couple of buddies are going on a 2-3 day trek up around 10,000ft in the snow! and i promise to post pics when the time comes.
