You are so inspiring. Enjoy your videos greatly.

Glad your wife recovered well and your fitness goals are on track 🙌 Cool to see a rattler up there!

Posting the big numbers I see, Dr. Bill... and snake jousting! Geez, this channel has come a long way! Hahaaa! I'm glad your wife got through the covids and is getting back to normal. I'm sure that was miserable. She was in good hands. I'm right there with you regarding the extra work that even 10lbs brings on. It's absolutely a detriment when you trying to move it around with your legs. You've done a great job getting off!

For some reason (or several) , this is one of the most enjoyable vid's Bill. Nice job. For some unknown reason, the 17 miles just struck me as a good achievement. The scenery over your left at the 6:20 mark was spectacular! Are there homes wayyy over there? It was nice of you to make dinner easier for the rattler and prior to this, is a snake bite first-aid pack in your knapsack? Am glad the Mrs. got over the covid. It went thru our house last Spring. Have you had it yet?

I am with you on the weight, I put on an extra 13 pounds or so being undisciplined. So sorry to hear about your wife's covid, it is horrible that it is still circulating out there. I ran into rattlers on both of my most recent hikes at Grand Canyon, one pink and one brown, so you might keep your eyes open on your R2R!

And gosh, 17 miles… That’s practically like you did the rim to rim again.
