We are still hiking on the dark side of the Moon at this point. The only saving grace was no ice.

Yesterday I test hiked a new Neenca knee brace with excellent results.

Here in cold weather it kept sliding down without sweat. Otherwise, a winner after two hikes.

With the right knee pain nullified, it was easier to enjoy a previously unknown slight pain in the left knee, along with hips that occasionally scream pain, plantar fasciitis, and a new joy that surfaced last week... achilles tendonitis from (I'm guessing) bunny hopping wet rocks n steps
