Hello Hikers!
Wed Dec 5
Ellis Hollow Nature Preserve
Shortly after we set off, we came to a stream that’s normally slightly tricky to cross, but by no means impossible — this time it was so full we couldn’t see a way across — one hiker tried but had to turn back half way — then he fell in trying to get back to shore — fell sideways, landed on his hip, and wet half his body. He had to head right back to the car. This is the site of the accident — we swung by later in the walk so I could get a shot
Gopi is demonstrating exactly how the hiker was standing when he toppled in
After the falling hiker went back, the rest of us pushed on.
