After some days off to rehab my knee, I’m back on trail. Managed 13 miles today (June 16) to finish the Rawlins road walk in high-90-degree heat. Used the crutches today to take the slight twinge out. All told, I have walked over 30 miles on crutches.

Knee held up pretty well today. Tomorrow I hope to do 11 offroad miles with the equivalent of a day pack and my poles. If that goes okay I have another 13 miles over a snowy peak to finish this section of about 200 miles. Then I would catch a ride north to the Canadian border and hope I can get a Glacier Park permit to start hiking the remaining 1,350 miles south with full pack ASAP.

As always, thanks for your messages of support.
