First tour, knee hurts, advice?

I took a short tour over the weekend, riding 40 to 50 miles each day. I rode two days, rested one, then rode two more.
I don't have shoes that clip into my pedals, I just have straps that aren't that tight...
After the first two days my knees were pretty stiff and painful...on the kneecap.
Now, (I just got home today) my right knee is extremely stiff and painful. My left one is fine, at least I dont notice any pain in it.
My dad thinks it could be that I am holding my foot in a bad position while pedaling...

Any advice or suggestions?
I have a longer tour coming up soon, through mountains...and I really don't want to postpone it....
