Markskor in Hospital

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Mark update: Says he is feeling better. But still needs infusions of platelets. Still another 7-10 days before he can return to Mammoth.

Talked to Mark a while ago. A little grumpier than usual. Understandable after recent MRI that he barely squeezed into and failed attempt to draw a sample of spinal fluid from lumbar area. His son can no longer visit and bring hambergers and other clandestine materials, so that doesn't help either. He kind of feels like the proverbial mushroom. you know the joke! Anyhow no word on if and when he will be released. I suspect that corona virus might keep him in longer than first thought. Stay tuned for all the news that is fit to print!

Now that's certainly a bummer. Wow, what crummy timing... Hang in there, Mark!

P.S. Thanks for the update, Mike.

Been a little quiet here recently...sorry ,
Maybe that had something to do with heariing you have possibly 3 hours to live.

Anyway, just learned that there is a real good chance i'll be back in Tuolumne meadows by July.
Thanks to all for the prayers!

Great news Mark! 👍

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
