No Reverse - Sometimes

I have an '04 F150 with 160,000 miles, and I've never had any issues until yesterday. I bought it brand new in '04. It is my daily driver, and normal service and maintenance had been maintained. It has never towed anything, and was used to haul small loads when I remodeled my house. In the last 5 years it hasn't seen any workload. Saturday, I hauled large load of sand 7 miles with no issues. Yesterday, I was leaving work, and reverse was not working. The exact symptom is, going to Park to Reverse always works. Going from N,D,2,1 to Reverse never works. I'm hoping this is an easy fix, and not tranny related. Any ideas?
