View from the Upper Ledge
After a week of nursing and icing and semi-resting my right foot I ventured out to the Middle Fork to Garfield Ledges. It was a beautiful day with a great view and, to my great relief, my foot was just fine. I think it is a type of tendinitis so (I hope) if I continue to treat it with respect I will soon be able to go anywhere, and not jut on a 3.22 mile hike like today.

Rattlesnake Mountain
I got out today and went up the Cedar Butte Trail to Saddle Junction and headed SE down the Southside Trail. I took that to Olallie Trail and headed back down to the PTC Trail and back to the car. About 6 miles. A good hike but for one thing: shortly after heading down the Olallie Trail my right foot started to hurt.
I wound up limping back the 3 miles to the car. Ouch. It has been hard to walk ever since, but I am hopeful that Ibuprofen and ice and elevating the leg will help. I do NOT want to deal with an injury at any time but particularly not when I have been able to get out on the mountain trails again.
