Re: Custom hiking boots
Hi Quinton Thank you. We did a MRI (3 years ago) and found no tear, but I am surprised to hear that cortisone shots are not used :(. I have a second opinion setup with another Doctor. I will follow

Re: Custom hiking boots
I'm not a foot doctor, but my wife is. Have you been in a can boot to treat your foot? She says the standard of care is to be in one of those boots for several weeks. Cortisone shots are generally

Re: Good resource for PCT section hike
Tilden Lake is on my list as a possible side visit, since it looks like it might have some nice views. And if I do the loop down to Hetch Hetchy it would make a good spot to turn south from. Don't
