It was clear from yesterday's portages that my knee can't handle bushwhacking yet. I was really disappointed since I love testing WT treks but c'est la vie. This morning we checked out a couple of transition areas and had another interesting chat with a local, then I shuttled Bob around to do a big trek on his own. Rain started pelting down as he was outside getting ready to leave and I was in the nice warm car. Even *that* didn't cheer me up. ;)
