i hope you are right Pika...the more i think about it, which is all i seem to be doing lately, waas a combination of things

not going in well rested or getting enough rest during...not packing right, and or some other pyschosamatic reason is probably what led to my meltdown...

the silver lining of it all is it got me to realize that just because my little machine body can do something...is it worth it to me?

Sure i could have brutalized my mind and body and gone furhter and higher, but what fun would that be?

so although i had to swallow that painful pill of my abilities....i'm sort of looking forward to my new direction of outdoor life which will maximize my enjoyment
