Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir

Accidents will happen, that's why it is important to have a reserve of good karma(or an angel). Be safe everybody, I would rather learn how to avoid trouble from experienced hikers rather than from experience.

Happy trails folks,
