I'm glad you learned a thing or two about risk in a well-traveled environment. I'm particularly glad you learned it at a young and impressionable age.

Which is not to say I'm glad you broke your leg or cut your vacation short. That sucks. But the "I'm going to jump off a rock into a slippery canyon of rocks" impulse is one that some people never learn from.

Now read (or re-read) the following with a new sense of appreciation.

I'm glad he's sharing the story, too. Too often, and I'm guilty of this, people only share the best aspects like great pictures, but they leave out the hard, risky parts.

Eh, Hubski was part of the reason I went that direction anyway. I want to do a trip report for the rest of it, and this would have felt like a pretty big omission :)
