WELL, THE DOCTOR SAID TO "ELEVATE THE KNEE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE".....

WELL, THE DOCTOR SAID TO "ELEVATE THE KNEE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE"..... On March 23, my Friend Jerry K. rolled through here, returning from California and on his way Home to Omaha, Nebraska. Even though he had a business appointment in nearby Gillette, WY that morning, he dealt with that quickly and was back by Noon. Although the temps were moderate and the rock was dry, we knew that there was a WINTER STORM WARNING out and that some significant snow was coming just around sunset. We charged up the Deadly Durrance Route with Great Joy. Jerry had torqued his knee, skiing in Tahoe, just the week previous, so he sported a knee brace....but it didn't slow him down at all. The climb was Magic, as we could see mixed rain and snow all around us, but it never came at us !! As we sat on the Tower Top we detected the wind rising, the temperatures falling and the clouds closing, but before we moved on to the raps, we had to take this picture !! it was to let the Doctors know that Jerry was following their instructions to "elevate the injured knee as much as possible". Well Jerry had done just that, elevating it to the Top of Devils Tower. It was a Beautiful Day and a Magic Climb. You already know that the snow started shortly after we made it back Home....but also, please know that it could only have been better if YOU had been along to share it all with. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO LIVE OUT THEIR DREAMS
