Travelogue Part 2
Posted this last night, but it didn't show up in the earlier post: I got here to this third camp about 1:15. Dave, my BIL, arrived quite some time earlier. We are not just in the middle of nowhere, we are surrounded by mountains and glaciers. We had to bushwack through miles of trail today to get here. Its a treacherous route, and not for the faint of heart, or the injured. Injured? Yes. I would tell you from experience that hiking with a jacked up knee is risky. More risky, hiking with 2 jacked up knees. I only had one until Monday, when I slipped and fell crossing a stream, only to slip and fall again while trying to cross a second time. The good news is, I had a brace and it's on my now injured left knee. The bad news, I don't have a brace for my other knee, which lacks a miniscus. To make the injury worse, I got separated that first day from Dave, and hiked 3.2 miles past our campsite, the first mile a 1000 foot climb....
