RE: Doorjam Gulley Exit - An adventure in getting off trail - part 3📷
Really enjoyed your trip photos...this is true adventure...traveling concealed and mysterious places always gives me chills...the best part you completed this without any injuries :)
Thanks vj1309, great to have your comments. I did forget about one injury. I went blasting down a skree slope in the trees (I love to be on the edge of in/out of control on skree) and this time I lost my speed control, fell onto the skree and since I was going so fast with skree sliding below me, I lost control and kept slider about 30ft towards a dropoff ledge. I was able to hook a tree at the last minute with my arm to save from going over, and in the process, I had torn my thumb's fingernail in half and it ripped off part way. It was gushing blood and hurt good, but I was Lucky and Thankful to have a small injury, as it could have been much worse. I was laughing and smiling the whole way, and after a stop to dress the wound, gauz it (I always have first aid with me), we were off again. No big deal, but a big risky that time for sure! Just added to the adventure though.
oh yeah that's a lucky escape...anyways all's well that ends well.
