Yesterday, I introduced my fellow Cub Scout Leader to Geocaching. Unfortunately, we didnt get a chance to open it, despite the fact it was in sight, bearly an arm lengths away. Stupidly, I had focused on the cache and not the nicely camoflaged tree branch that I collided heavily with and subsequently IMPALED my left thigh on.
The injury was shocking and spectacular. Words cannot explain the initial discovery of the bloody black hole that was evident on my lower thigh.
I need not say much more; as we very swiftly abandoned any attempt at bagging this cache, and concentrated on immediate First Aid and a swift journey to the nearest Hospital.
Watch out for the low lying branch at: X Marks the Spot by Ben and Alex (GC1KG3R)

(Pictures and all)
I will be taking a hand saw down there tomorrow night and removing the offending vegetational hazard.
Anyone else injured themselves whilst Geocaching?
