Even saw Captain Defiance, aka Mayhem, on my way up for a super quick little knee testing hike I was conducting.

Nice chatting with you sir!

Also met 2 nice gals both on the way up and way down, but on the way down they were taking a short break so I told them the legend about Captain Defiance and to check both PDX Hikers and WH for further details. Love meeting other nice trail friends when out and about! :)

Jogged down to get a little more cardio, total trip time was 1 hour and 45 minutes. Sure is nice NOT to do Defiance for a fourth time in 6 weeks or whatever..

Knee - Had hinged knee brace and jogged down, knee started bugging me after I got home and continued to bug me Monday, might have to take 1 weekend off from hiking to let it heal up...
