This year for the 1st time I kind of felt like you. The hassle involved kind of eats away at me. Such as waking up at 2:15AM and driving 130 miles to public land, wondering if someone will be in my spots (Lots of times they are). Going to the motel, shelling out lots of $$$. I just turned 50 this week (I have my share of aches and pains)and the thought of freezing my ass off all day weighs on my mind. But the last week or so I've been slowly getting excited about the upcoming season. The fire is building again. By openingweek I should be raring to go, Thank heavens!
Maybethe turning point for me was a scary Dr. report I had recently. I'm going for surgery Monday and should be OK in about 3 weeks after. So hopefully I'll be AOK for the 1st week of the season (NY).
