Well, the foot doctor told me 8-12 weeks before I can really do anything remotely like hiking, so, borrowing a term from baseball, I’m “shut down” for the rest of the season.  This will probably be my last “PCT2017” tagged post, so for all of you who’ve followed me, there won’t be much more interesting stuff, although random winter hiking and 2018 stuff will be here at some point.   I’ve uploaded full-res versions of my better pictures to Flickr though, which you can get to off my main page, or by cheating with this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/145945713@N02/sets/72157685250363506

Happy Trails all!
