That's fantastic, Jay! Welcome back and here's to wishing you many peaks ahead!
Re: I'm Baack
From one Jay to another - WAY TO GO!! You really have "come back". Awesome! 
PS - Is that a Norwegian Elkhound that your brother has? I had a couple of them years ago and took them up many peaks. They were my best friends...

I take the mountain climber's approach to housekeeping - don't look down

Re: I'm Baack
Glad you had a fun time on La Plata!
I was actually one of the people who called in SAR that day - I got word through the grapewine while on the summit that someone was having a heart attack on the south side of the mountain, and gave the Sheriff a call while balancing on a rock. As I've come to discover with other incidents in my office at work, it doesn't help a whole lot if you're not the one checking out the person in distress, so my contribution was pretty limited by lack of information. I actually didn't know you were a 14ers member - again, through the grapevine, we were told it was someone visiting from out of state!
Awesome that you went back and got it, what a cool way to celebrate the Fourth!

All I want is to just have fun, live my life like a son of a gun

Sarcasm or not, it's not even funny to post something like this. Not at this time. Reported.

Re: I'm Baack
It is always awesome to read posts like this one! Congrats on your continued recovery and on summitting La Plata!!
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me!
Re: I'm Baack
Welcome back! Great to hear you're heading back up the mountains. Going to go read your last post from 2011 about your trip. My Dad had a heart attack about 50 feet in elevation from the summit of Bierstadt last summer, and had quite the ordeal with AirLife not being able to find him, etc. Certainly a terrifying situation for everyone involved I know firsthand.

Congrats!
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
