MHP,

Thank you for the pictures. Unlike G, I actually saw them. :-)

I used to live in Washington state and the dampness and cool temperatures create some incredible woodlands. I wish I could go to Tofino someday but alas, it will never happen.

I love the full fat yogurt, too. Have started making it from milk at home. Quite easy, actually. Hubby and I eat it with fruit for dessert.

Waves to you, G. :welcome:

Off to shower and get hubby up for his surgery. Hoping all goes well with that today.

I is here ... lovely link, Happs. Just as well I saw that before I went on to read that a Japanese restaurant in Glebe does Tempura Mars Bars. ***shudder***

I've never understood tempura mars bars. That's like pineapple on pizza. Should be banned I say!

I CAN tell you that our Brynnie and Geoff served up mars bars in tempura last year when I attended their anniversary. Good thing me and Geoff were in the garage rotating the tyres on the Roller at the time.

A bonza day to all and get a dog up ya. Ooroo.

Trivial dribble post warning, so please feel free to move on and continue baking.

I am a bit of a fan of yer SBS French, Spanish, Italian news, oh, and the news from Malta on a sunday morning is always a treat, with those blue sky's and sundrenched villages, but dunno if anyone watches the Greek news? I tell's ya, the chicks presenting always look as if they've been on the piss hard the night before. I suppose things are pretty tough over there though.

Ooroo.

Hello my beautiful friends. I just had the most trying day in some time. Morning hike starts off well. Alex, a hiker that joins us from time to time had a very bad day. It was extremely hot here and we started at 8am. My friend Marshall led this one and I was the sweep (last hiker in group) as I have CPR/Med training. Alex concerned me from the start. She was stopping too often and making excuses about her boots not being adjusted correctly. I knew something was wrong. Well, at about the 5k mark she sits down on the trail (not good). I asked her some questions...no response (really not good). Finally she said she felt faint, had chills, and was nauseated. I took two salt tablets from my pack and forced (forced) her to swallow them with water. No improvement after 15 min. I decided to carry her to a shaded area. It took quite a distance to find a good spot. Wrong idea for me. It drained me completely and felt I was getting in trouble from heat exhaustion. I was forced to call the Phoenix Fire & Rescue to evacuate her. She is being kept overnight at a Scottsdale Hospital. I've always known just how risky the shit I do is. I get that, and accept the responsibilities associated with it. However, for Alex, I got to my car and wept like a baby. I just hate to see another person suffer. It was awful. Just fucking awful.

Love you all so much :l

Oh, techie, sorry to hear that. Was it heat exhaustion for her, too, or something else. Frightening.
Do rest up this weekend.:l

Well look, you did the right thing by calling for help.
It could be something as simple as a viral illness and she's in the right place now.
The simple fact that you all had the correct procedures in place, were organised with a plan and had a first aider is a credit to you. A lot of hikers here go off with a lot less planning.

That must have completely rattled you. Feel good in the knowledge you did what needed to be done. She was lucky that you were around.
