Day 11 - Dodge ball
Remember dodge ball in school? Trying to avoid those round,red,rubber missiles aimed at various body parts that no one had a right to be aiming things at, while trying to stay upright? We got to experience that again. An animal of some sort up one of the nearby mountains set loose a rock-slide as we were passing by.
Jake's not as light on his feet as he leads people to believe. Hopping all over the place, he managed to not be killed only by sheer luck. Well, luck and Todd who caught him when he tripped over a tumbling rock. C.K. and Janice did all right, managing to side-step them all gracefully. I did not do as well, managing to twist my ankle when I went down with a particularly sizeable boulder. (Jake is correcting me here - he says he was a *pebble*. Jake has no idea what he's talking about. That was a boulder of the magnitude of a .... of a.... a really BIG boulder.) Everyone else came away with minor scrapes and bruises.
The incident has me laid up now , and able to write more since we'd been too busy for that.
Bonus to it - managed to get back at Todd. Amazing what you can do with a ball of string, a half-eaten MRE , toothpaste, 2 neck-ties(Frank's - wonder where he thought he'd need those?) and 4 idiots just itching to play a joke. Todd will be deathly afraid of potatoes for a long time.
Ankle's starting to throb - so will add more later. We won't be moving on for a day or so, should I should be able to catch up on what's been happening.
