Totality in Texas<\/p><\/div>\n

Well… my spring didn’t quite shape up like I’d hoped. After having only gone to a doctor twice in the last 30+ years, I’ve had nine visits this year already! It was eventually determined that my knee has a severely torn meniscus and I should undergo arthroscopic surgery. That caused me to skip my Angel’s Landing hike in mid-April as well as abort plans for a big hike in May. Now I’m actually hoping to do a big hike this fall, but TBD based on how things go with the knee.<\/p>\n

I did however manage a great southwest trip to see the eclipse in Texas. I had a friend join me for part of the journey and met up with others in Texas. All in all I ended up driving over 2000 miles and visited six national parks along the way there and back. Check out the gallery below.<\/p>\n

The other good news is that I’m finally releasing the extended series from last year’s Grand Escalante Loop Hike<\/strong>. Look for a separate post about that with more info and a link to the initial episode.<\/p>\n

That’s the news for now — I’ll post more as things shape up. \u270c<\/p>\n
