pole to pole with ME

Wednesday, March 29, 2006


Poor Julie! After only two days on the trail, her feet were in pretty bad shape. We patched her up as best we could, knowing that our moleskin was in frighteningly short supply, and there was little chance of getting more on the trail. We tried a plaster of second skin topped with moleskin and secured with duct tape, but the whole thing slid when her feet got damp, and matters got worse. A moment of inspiration sent us diving for the tensor bandages. We wrapped all of the anti-blister dressing (minus the duct tape) into place. This worked well enough that her heels started to heal by the end of the hike! Julie was a real trooper, bless her dear heart.  Posted by Picasa
