trip planning to be gone 2 weeks. That was
not to be.
We spent the first night at a Forest Service
Campground in the Snowy Range in Wyoming. We
took a walk before dinner and got back just
as the skies let loose and a drenching down
pour cooled everything off. It wasn't that
hot to begin with since we were less than
9000 ft, but well above 8000 ft. Near the
town of Centennial, I believe.
On Sunday we headed out. "Breaking camp"
sure is easy with our VAN. We just go.
We continued on west of Laramie and
stopped to take a walk, at some point
south of Saratoga on WY130. There was
a parking area and a path along a stream.
We walked the path to a foot bridge. The
bridge had steps up onto the bridge, but
only a pile of loose rocks as you left
the bridge. I slipped on those rocks,
and took a hard fall backwards, hitting
my head very hard.
We did get it stitched up, including
a broken vein within the hole and
the bleeding stopped, finally.
We stuck it out a couple more days, but
it wasn't much fun so on Wednesday we drove
home. Today I had an appointment with
my primary doc and a CT scan and all checked
out Okay. I still have a headache....and
I guess I will for some time to come.
I'm glad to be home. Camping isn't much fun
when you don't feel good. But, I'm sorry, too.
We were having such a good time, until I fell!
