Here's some day 1 pics, i can move them if we make a new thread. Although i think it's cool to show how much planning and stuff is involved in these trips.

PA_JERO in action.

Just got back from urgent care where they did x-rays (my first experience) and confirmed my leg has been broken the entire time. Funny I've been walking and hiking on it.

@AKClay, how did it happen? Saw your earlier pic and thought "crap, that looks bad".
Had an unplanned get off on a motorcycle back in November, ending up w/ a plate and 6 screws in my left Tibia. Heal up.

I was tightening the lugs on Pa_Jeros truck and the lug wrench slipped and so did I. My foot and ankle stayed in place while the rest of my body fell over. When I rolled over I could see my foot was 90 degrees the wrong way and then it snapped back in place. The doctors were amazed that I have been so active on it.

Toasty, I'm not getting your pictures, just blue rectangular boxes with question marks in them.

I'm uploading my videos to YouTube as we speak. I don't have the patience to go through them and label them accordingly, maybe I'll edit them later but I'm picked out the better ones I had. Toasty should have some awesome ones

Yeah there seems to be a permissions issue, i've set every picture to public and i've tried re linking every one so far. Only shows up on my computer if i'm logged into Google.
Try this.

Clay's hardcore, breaks his leg the first day on the trail and by the 5th and 6th day he was helping stack rocks a little and hobbling around like a champ. He even hiked over to the waterfall on day 5, he's a trooper and an ***. Next time Clay, let us help you because your leg might be broken. :sombrero:


I still need to go through my videos, most are crappy. there is a real technique to shooting with a gopro. I will say i'm getting better at it, much better than the last trip.

- these az guys are tough!
