 @c531994e @f374e1a2 Really glad to hear you’re safe. Stomach issues are no joke - I did a WFA course years ago where the instructor repeatedly told us that they’re one of the most immediately dangerous ailments in the back country.  Broken bones hurt like crap but take weeks to kill someone - dehydration due to stomach issues can kill someone in less than a day (and then go on to sicken everyone else in the group!).

PS. Amazing photos! Glad the stomach stuff wasn’t the only thing you experienced! 
 @722bd124 @f374e1a2 Thank you! I didn’t initially understand how bad the situation was. Still learning. In hindsight, the day was fun but i’m glad I’m back home. 
 @c531994e @f374e1a2 Every trip that ends in a safe return home goes solidly in the W column.  😉 
 @722bd124 Absolutely! I’m happy I at least got to experience part of the trail. I’ll be back eventually.
