The Continuing Saga

Love Man did make it up the North Rim of the canyon and did it in five hours.
Amy, Jim and the others were waiting for him and were so glad to see him.
Jim, Amy's husband, felt bad as they got him into this group and all.

It was all good.
Everyone getting out of the canyon knew Bo, because Amy asked if they saw him.
Love Man ended up hiking with another group as it is best not to hike alone.
He showered and the they headed back to Phoenix.

Fred is fine. He rested for two hours and hiked out. He met up with a group of nurses, who after hearing his story, monitored him and adjusted their hike for his safety. His brother in law picked him up in Flagstaff. Fred could not get a room at the lodge and took the shuttle to Flag.

Fred loves LM. And, they may be lifelong friends.

Love Man has a super swollen ankle that is not going away. His legs and ankles were a bit
swollen last week. The left ankle remains swollen. He is going to the doctor about it on Monday.
It also looks like he is going to lose a toe nail.

This hike is rated moderate to strenuous. I don't know. I think I will rate it brutal.
