Maybe Ava is trying to aclimate me to less oxygen at higher altitutes. I keep waking up with a pillow over my face.

at 9000' you should be adapted enough to function at 80% of your normal
capacity after only two weeks at that altitude.[charley and kris might want
to head that way a little early].

Just some FYI as I was reading on my leading the ride to the North rim and hadn't realized how how up it was.. higher than the south rim I visited 2 years ago.

FYI, Bryce Canyon is over 9000' also.

Brad should be good to go as his brain has been lacking oxygen for years.
