April 20th & 21st
We have temporarily stepped off trail to recharge a bit at OxbowBurrito’s house in Laguna Niguel. The Breeze’s knee injury appears to be significant, and he’s scheduled to see a sports doctor tomorrow to see if its manageable without causing permanent damage.
We’re still planning on attending the official 2-day kick-off event from Wednesday-Friday.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, The Breeze has a torn meniscus and very likely a torn ACL as well. He was told to stay off it and seek a surgeon once he’s home. We are headed to Kick-off now.
Hey man! Thanks again for the Portland beer. You are at the same PCT mile that my foot blew up at and I had to take a day off. This is the hardest part of the hike. Travel well and safe.
Thanks Craig! We’re excited to wrap up Section A at least. I put another 4 oz of down in my quilt…let’s hope I stay warmer.
Hope you guys feel better!
Wow, what fantastic pictures, Tim! The terrain is much different than I thought it would be. I hope you guys heal quickly. Enjoy the doings at the starting place.
Love and prayers,
Aunt Donna
Thank you! We’re headed to the doctor this very hour. We’re excited to get back out there!
I’m loving thee pictures! Damn shame about the knee though, that’s a real downer. I hope things will be OK for him.
Just caught up with all your posts. Jena laughed so hard when I told her you tried to dehydrate avocados.
I hope Breeze’s knee is in better shape… What a shame.
