Mount Nittany
First hike after throat surgery

This was just a quick climb to the top of the hill to test out my new throat.

After seven years of chronic fatigue and inflamed tonsils, I finally had the insurance coverage to get them out.  I could definitely breath through my nose better, but I'll have to wait and see what other effects it's had.

I was so out of shape that it took almost 45 minutes to get to the top--that's usually how fast I can make it with an overnight pack with a tent . . .
