    Was driving around Maryville today and saw the store he works at, Little River Trading Company, and asked the people in there how he’s doing. Looks like he’s in Maryville and getting more treatment. According to the clerk, he shouldn’t lose anything if he takes care of himself properly.

    I have to agree with him, the store was great and is on Hwy 321 going towards Townsend. A bit cramped but the selection, well, can only be beaten by Sun and Snow Sports in Nashville.

    How’s about saying a few prayers for his recovery will ya?

    Man, this guy is hardcore, but he also got lucky. The Gila is my stomping grounds, and it can be bad news. Snow can come quickly, and storms can grow into something dangerous before you know it. We got snowed on in the Gila in June!

    The CDT is worth it, but be careful.
