I didn't mean to sound negative. Just telling myself what you all said, get out and do it. This summer I'm thinking of 2 camping trips, 1 to Big Sur where I spent a lot of time in the free and wild time of the early 70's, The other to the Ishi Wilderness near Mt. Lassen. Then, in fall, have a trip to Puerto Vallarta planned. I did learn an important lesson from my father's passing, I'm taking good care of my heart and blood pressure, eating right and trying not to get stressed. I do plan on living well past 65 but there are no ghuarantees in life.
