I am sorry about your best friend passing away. I understand how you feel about your friend as I lost my best friend of 30 years in florida in April of this year and it hit me hard like a rock took me two months to finally snap out of the funk I was in. Prayer for you to get thru this trying time.

[@terrysebold2950]

FYI, SNP closed all fishing due to the low water levels in the streams/creeks. So water sources are going to be slim.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

..Sorry for your loss of a good friend .... when you go through the final trailhead will you be an ultralighter ??

[@Ramdinohikes]

So not sure what you mean. Going thru a trail head and being ultra lighter are different.

[@1z1zmike]

[@gabriele1975]

Oh my goodness! I thought, “Lordy he’s got a new sponsor!” Electrolyte deficiency 😂😂😂 Make sure you stay hydrated so you can get up the next hill! 😂😂😂 OK, I’m dead now! 😂😂😂

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@sheilamarini1113]

Do you know what else ED stands for?

[@Ramdinohikes]

Yea, that's kinda the point. It's comedy or satire or both

[@lindatipton413]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@LionessHiker]

I would flip flop. If I get my house sold or rented I may end up a SOBO. Otherwise, it will be Feb. 2025. I pray that Darrin’s memory will be a blessing. I pray God will comfort all who loved him.

[@LionessHiker]

@Navy1977 I am in SW Oklahoma. I am making a few needed repairs. I don’t want to take bottom dollar for it. In addition, I am waiting for my cardiologist to release me to get back on trail. May as well get a few needed things done.

[@LionessHiker]

@Navy1977 thanks so much!

[@joaniekay5600]

Flip flop. Better weather up here as well

[@rockytopwrangler2069]
