Healing

My ribs are starting to feel better. I am able to sleep lying down now, and am starting to look forward to getting outside again. Scott went on one of our favorite hikes the other day...Deadfall Meadows. It's always nice to get to the point in the year when you can drive to the trailhead without having to hike through the one last bit of snow on the road. We hope to camp at Deadfall Lake once it starts to warm up some more. The wildflowers will be stunning in another month or so.
Scott is gearing up for our upcoming Badwater adventure. This should be his 13th official finish and my tenth year crewing. Each year, my appreciation for the desert grows. My goal as crew chief for this year is to keep things simple and happy. We've done this event enough times that it really should flow smoothly. Scott has trained so hard, in spite of such a difficult year. He amazes me with his discipline and drive. He deserves a good crossing.
