Nice report John! I did some hiking/fishing in the Grouse ridge area on Saturday.
I have a bum achilles tendon that keeps me at the back of the pack. I think a knee
is even worse! Did you just strain it or do you think it's something serious?
I need to hit the Velma's some time. I hear they are good. Oh, and I hear you on
the wind....geez! We about gone blown off the water with our tubes on Saturday.
White caps. I decided to tube to the side, get out, and walk around the lake instead
of trying to fight the wind. That proved faster than kicking against the head wind.
By the way...do you get many hot spots on your feet when hiking? For the life of me
I can never avoid getting a hot spot or blister somewhere. I've tried two pairs
of socks, tape, band aids etc. I'm starting to think a pair of Nike high tops might
be better than the expensive hiking boots I have.
Nice pics.
