Leaving in 3 days. At this point I have to just concede that I'm not packing solo into there in 3 days. Foot still isn't close to 100% and just as bad I haven't been able to hike or walk for 3 weeks so my legs are soft and my balance is off, at least as far as backpacking off-trail in rugged country I mean.

You guys were right. This is a fairly big deal. [bleep]. "Who knew".

Still get a good twinge with every step, though I will say I've got some bounce back and I don't think I'm visibly limping anymore. So, lots of progress but this ain't a foot that can be trusted right now, clearly. smile

On the bright side I'm going hunting on a GOOD tag with a good rifle and glass into some gorgeous country and I'll still be able to get out and hunt it effectively, I think. I just can't get my ass into the really premium areas far from roads.

There's been a lot of great info offered up here and I'm very grateful.
