I had 4 days off before I start training on Monday and I will be on a regular shift for a while, Mon-Fri 7-3, until the end of Dec. So I decided to hike into Havasupai but make it down to the Colorado this time. Unfortunately Kevin had to work all 4 days that I had off, but I kept thinking of him when it got hard on the hike down to the river, I knew he would want to see it and he would tell me to suck it up:) I started out with my pack the heaviest it has been, even when I packed a whole turkey into the Napali Coast. It felt like I was carrying two small children on my back the whole time. I don't know what I was thinking, but I think I gained 5lbs in a couple days because I didn't want to pack it out again. Even though I can't walk now, I feel strong and proud to be a women. Tons of people could not believe that I was doing this by myself, and then being a female. Truthfully I never even thought about it, women need to toughen up out there.
