Another example of a lesson learned that you never forget.

It sure was a great day! And yes ...Thanks, Sandi! It sure was a great day! And yes so glad, as always, to see Brenda. Wonderful that Harriet's hikes are taking off, and that you got to supply them with extra gear and lesson. I'll have to join you both one of these days. :)Joan Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396313531820725640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-22656312058642385642015-01-13T13:57:55.915-07:002015-01-13T13:57:55.915-07:00It's the selfless qualities and PIF philosophy...It's the selfless qualities and PIF philosophy that makes this works a better place. I had an incident last summer where someone fell I'll. After trying several things to bring her back the thing that worked the best was salt water. One of the gals on the trip has MRE meals and as she dumped her pack out came the salt. I read of a similar incident and learned about Pedialyte Powder which I now keep in my first aid kit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-82439352225260508932015-01-13T13:46:02.554-07:002015-01-13T13:46:02.554-07:00Looked like a great day for a hike!!

Hiked with Harriet and her group this weekend and brought extra hand warmers and gloves (which were needed) had some new hikers with many questions about my poles too. Lessons learned from being a Dame...<br />Also love your heart and all your "lessons" for us from the PCT. <br />Looking forward to hiking again sooner than later!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851418561197994697noreply@blogger.com
