Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Three days go by very quickly when you want them to last 3 weeks don't they? I had a great trip up to Boone in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. Spent some really good time with my son and his girlfriend . Got to find out what kind of a traveler my new dog is...turns out he's awesome. The only issue I had with the dog is his aversion to elavators. I was on the third floor of my hotel and it meant that every time we had to go up and down I had to carry him while pulling my oxygen tank. But we managed. Oddly enough for some reason I had a much easier time adjusting to the difference in altitude than I have in the past. The only thing I can attribute it to is the warmer weather. I think the cold weather and the altitude together is a bad combination for me. I was using 4 liters at rest and 6-7 with activity when I normally use 3 at rest and 4-6 with activity when I'm at home. But the adjustment this time was really rapid when it normally takes me 24 hours or more to acclimate to being at 3200 feet above sea level. We ate at a great new restaurant on Wednesday night for dinner and liked it so much Matt and I went back on Friday for lunch before I came home. Fabulous food! Did some walking enjoying the mountain vistas. So beautiful! Dropped of a few bags of groceries at Cove Creek Farm and met some of the 'knuckleheads' that are in the program there now. My son was one of the knuckleheads at one time and Cove Creek and it's director saved his life in more ways than one. It was good to visit there and count my blessings once again. So I'm home and scheming my next "get me the heck out of here". Planning is half the fun!
