VW Bus Camping Monument Peak - Wild Wind!
"I'm excited to share that I'm back on the trail after a 6-month break! On 3/15/24, I went on an off-road adventure in a vintage Volkswagen VW Bus, exploring the San Bernardino Mountains that received a lot of rainfall over the 2023/2024 season. The overnight trip was supposed to last for a few nights, but the weather didn't cooperate, so I had to cut it short. Nonetheless, the Bus and I made it off the mountain safely, and I'm happy to share my story!"
Health
Six-month Vacation. Being diabetic, I fell into a Hypoglycemia state. My blood sugar dropped to a dangerous state. I was in & out of being unconscious. I managed to get a concussion trying to get inside the house. I did take several blows to my head, whiplash, and a broken nose. In six months, my Post Concussion Syndrome subsided, still leaving me with a vocal slur and poor word placement when I talk. But! I'm getting better every week. Verbal exercises are helping. My walking is about 90% on track. It feels good to be outside and in the Bus again. :o)

      I haven’t, 3hr walk to the road or the the other way to the Ranger station. Most my adventures in the pines is pretty well traveled. But, I should get a chainsaw and a small winch. The desert adventures are the scariest, sand, breakdowns and no cellar service. I need a satellite text unit or starlink. Or keep doing what I do! 🙄
