Although most definitely not as active as you (and older at 62) I still marvel that thankfully most of my bodily functions still work and my health is not a barrier to doing all of the things that I want to do.

Hi Don, thanks for the comment. I wonder why it is that we have to get a few years under our belt before we stop taking all of this for granted. It might be that we don’t know what we’ve got till its gone, but I’d certainly like to appreciate what I have while it’s here. :-)
The Insta 360 is tempting!

I went down a search rabbit-hole trying to figure out what SOTA is, that was interesting!
There is also POTA 'Parks On The Air'. Much easier. :-)
