Thanks for all the concerns guys. It's been three days now and the knee feels much better. So, hopefully it's not anything serious and I'll try wearing a knee brace the next time. Especially in the Jocassee Gorges. Big Red you're welcome to join me anytime. I'm doing a backpacking clinic on the Chatooga this Saturday and several of us are staying over night. We will be at the same site as the upstate hang a couple of weeks ago. Headed up to Hot Springs on Friday evening, May 18th, spending the night on the summit of Max Patch then hiking the 20 miles to Hot Springs on Saturday and Sunday. Hope to be in the Big Ditch the following week then headed up to Roan Highlands on Friday evening, June 8th. Probably night hike up to Roan High Knob then spend Saturday and Sunday hiking to 19E. So, let me know if you're interested in attending any of these.
