It was about a month ago my wife, son, the dog and myself were out looking for one of our first 10 caches. D/T = 1/1 Sounded fairly simple.......We were just off the paved path in the park down by the lake and my GPSr was at 3ft when I heard my wife scream......I immediately went to check it out and almost fainted at the sight. She had just punctured her "shin" about 1" deep and 3" long with a piece of a tree stump that was as sharp as a pencil........... It was NASTY, skin, blood and pieces of flesh were hanging out.... We were at the bottom of the slope and had to get her to the top by the path and almost 1/2 of a mile away from the car. Luckily there were some golfers on the other side of the path and they took my wife to the clubhouse in their golf cart while my son and I jogged the opposite direction back to the car.
This tripped turned from a nice 2 hour walk in the park to an extremely painful & expensive 6 hour trip to the emergency room where my wife got 5 huge staples in her shin..........
Now every time we go GeoCaching we always tease her about tree stumps or call her stumpy.......she has a great sense of humor about it......
