Unfortunately, the next day after I had walked for several hours, I lost signal, and found myself on the wrong side of a mountain and no idea which direction I needed to take to get back to the road, and the sun going down. The next morning I went up the mountain, got signal again, and could figure out a good route through the jungle to get back. Not much visible terrain when there is so much jungle cover... But now the messy part... cleaning all my equipment for the next time the road gets lost!

Sorry about everybody's winter woes. Tomorrow our woe will be strong thunderstorms, winds, and lightning.

Wow! That's fast!
Just went out to the store and shoveled out a parking spot for the van when I got home.
Right now, I'm resting my sore lower back! Snow shoveling should be in the Winter Olympics.
