Off trail at Teresa's

Well I have come off trail and gone my sister's cabin. I am thinking that I will get back on the trail after a short visit home. My knees are still hurting some, but frankly I'm home sick and the trail has yet to show me a reason to stay on it. I am told that I will be moving better once I get two hundred miles under my belt I currently have 188 miles. The trip up Bigelow mountain was the first time I felt that I would eventually get trail legs. I won't say it was an easy climb but I got to the top and still had something left. The trip down was tough and my left knee was hurting a bunch. It was hopping from one rock about the size of a end table to another. There were only a few places you could stand on a level surface Steep and hard to do with a sore knee.
