Day 73, July 27, 2014

13.2 AT miles.

Yukon and I headed out at 9 a.m. The rocks were slick and abundant.

Yukon slipped on a rock and fell. This was a scary point for me and I was quiet while he inspected the damage. When you see your fellow brother holding his foot/leg scary thoughts run through your mind. I initially thought he had broken something, but I was about 10 yards away. Fortunately, the best thing that could of happened did. He gashed his shin about an inch long and a coffee straw wide. It coulda probably used stitches but we carried out first aid. He went to paramedic school and I supplied all my first aid gear. I told him not to wrap the medical tape to tight and he looked at me and said did you go to paramedic school? I laughed and said no. I told him I had had first aid/CPR going on 8 years, but to answer his question no :). He apologized later for being rude but I told him that I didn't take it to heart. When us tough guys get hurt we get frustrated at ourselves for making mistakes and do need time to release our frustration. Seriously though he did not have a rude approach and didn't need to apologize.

I had been mentioning throughout the day for us both to take our time and move through the rocks at a safe pace. However, we both were doing 3 miles an hour and pushin it.

We finished our day in Palmerton and got a ride to town. We got 3 subs for $15 and Cindy Ross picked us up again. We went back to her house and ate fresh pesto. We also had ice cream and pie. We completed dishes and laundry. I helped Todd research his new chainsaw sprocket. We were so grateful for their hospitality. We stayed in Cindy's cabin.
