Think we have a good plan for the morning. Decided to hike up where we saw the moose and take a closer look at the ridge we saw elk on. I was kind of leaning this direction because of a 2 track heading in that would make it easier to hike. Well, I made it. Finally! My legs and knees were good but I had to stop and catch my breath a few times. Didn't take much to recharge, I just couldn't climb and breathe at the same time! Got to the spot where the moose were and sat down to glass. Elk up on the top! Big mulie buck got up at 40 yards and trots off. Decided that it was a good spot for the old and crippled guys to post up and watch for any action and Tim the Olympic runner could go higher and work the ridgeline and upper areas where they were coming from. Anything we spotted from our sitting area could be moved on if needed.
The bad news. I climbed without any pain issues. Part of the trail was muddy and slick but doable. Coming back DOWN however I had a problem. Stepping forward with my left foot, my right knee started quivering while bending to move forward. It was having a hard time holding my weight back when bent. I don't know about carrying out weight on top of that. Tim and Greg said not to worry, we'll get things out regardless, but I don't like the idea of not doing my share. I'll worry about that if I actually get one down.
@Addicting should be showing up any time now and we'll be having my chili tonight. I believe it was mentioned about a bunch of old guys smelling our farts? Here we go!
