In the cleavage of the Tetons
You know whenever my aches and pains are bugging me I pop over to MTBR and read the 50+ Years Old forum... and I always feel so much better.
That’s the spirit!

So. This is the knee that sort of ‘gave out’ on me a little when we were about to drop into Starvation Creek. (Almost exactly five years ago) It was weird, all I did was a little bunny hop off of a waterbar, and it just collapsed. It’s bothered me a bit ever since, but was overshadowed by all the other shit I broke trying to chase The Canadian. . :D

Damn, that blows (to put it lightly).

Hopefully it doesn't take much longer to be remedied.

And glad ya noticed sooner than later, when the mold might start affecting your health.
Hopefully my insurance company doesn't read this forum, but basically "too late" on the affecting health thing. It could have been leaking for as many as 6 months, and Teh Spousal Unit™ and I have had some symptoms this spring and summer that are pretty consistent with mold exposure. We largely wrote it off as "allergies" because it's been so rainy here, but now we know what it probably has been.

I have now been traffic for 2hr30, with an hour still to go. This should be a 2hr15 drive.

Chances of there still being open spots at the campsite, slim.

traffic headed up even from 470 looked pretty gnarly
