So true. My husband has Parkinson's Disease Dementia [Lewy Body Disease] and for the past two years has required my 24/7 care. While I have four hours 'off' two mornings a week for errands, I seldom get out on the trail and never more than a couple of hours. This is the hand I've been dealt and I am glad I'm able to take care of him but I miss my hiking and kayaking. Every time I think of selling my gear, I look at it with such fondness I know I have to keep it just so I can relive the memories.

I'd sure like to think those of you who are still able are getting out there as much as you can. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? God bless you all and keep you safe on the trail. --Pat
