    So sorry to hear that Lisa. Too many of those kind of stories. I bear my own scars from a similar encounter. . .

    Been ridng my bicycle a bit lately and looking forward to more pedal powered miles. Can’t wait to put the kayak in the water. Kayaking can be done with a leg injury. I paddled with a fractured tibial plateau 4 summers ago. You’ll need a friend to help you launch and perhaps to get in and out. Good luck and speedy recovery Lisa.

    Boat camping, fishing and working on a neighborhood vegetable garden that I’m trying to get started. And of course lots of barbecue in the backyard.

    Lisa, I know how it feels. I have no ACL left in either leg. I hope you can still get around without too much discomfort.I, for now anyway, have declined on the proposed surgery on my knees. Do some research and ask people who’ve had the operation.

    Take care, Old Long skiis

    Planned on hiking, mountain biking, and backpacking. But everyone beware! The state of California has decided to put up sneaky “no parking” signs at several popular trail heads where parking has been allowed for over 20+ years! The signs are placed so that no one can see them from the actual parking area. In fact, you have to risk your life by standing out in the middle of the street (50 mile an hour zones) to see the signs at all, as they are facing the highway, and there are NO SIGNS in the actual area where you are no longer allowed to park directly in front of the trail heads! I came back after picking up garbage, cigarette butts, cans, and discarded bottles off the Tahoe Mountain trail today, and discovered my second ticket of $32 for this month! My first was in front of the Big Meadows trail head. When I called several of my friends, as I was outraged, they admitted they had gotten parking tickets in at least one of these two locations, as well. Nice work Cal Trans! Trying to drive the few hikers and mountain bikers out of Tahoe by slapping them with $32 parking fees or giving them the choice of getting run over by a speeding vehilce to get to their favorite trail heads? WHAT IS GOING ON???
