The back of my knee is improving, but the weather was absolutely terrible today. Snow, sleet and rain is a terrible combination to hike through without climbing a 10,000 foot mountain. I laid in my tent reading for most of the morning. I’m itching to go.

I received a text later in the afternoon. It was Fishtank. He finally caught up to me, so I met with his group for pizza. They asked me to join them, but they will be taking another zero. More time off cannot hurt.

When I was studying up on injuries I might suffer, blisters behind my knee was not an injury I expected to hold me up. Feet? Yes. Back? Yes. Water related illnesses? Yes. Chaffing and blistering behind the knees? Nope.
