    Choosing a Lift

    I think I'm at the point that I need to buy my own lift. Does anyone have a lift you are fond of or that is worked out well for you. I have a manual lift on loan from the loaner closet, but I'm able to buy one and free that up for the people who really need it. I've looked at Hoyer, direct...

    Blessed in this mess.

    We had a great weekend camping. Andrea and a couple of buddies helped me have a hands-free (because they don't work) high country adventure. Andrea gets huge credit because this was her first time packing into the backcountry.
