That is some very interesting countryside. I would expect to see a lot more greenery this time of year.

The RMD is a favorite of mine as well. In fact, its my favorite knife in the size range (the Rodent 6 might take this honor upon arrival and testing).

I like your gear (Nalgene, Maxped, 9mm, Bussekin) = man ready for about anything.

Hopefully your back will heal quickly, and you'll be able to spend more time outdoors!
