After a week of rest with dimimishing returns, Trail Angel Rich got me into a radiology place. It’s official, a Jones fracture, non-displaced at least. Weeks of feet-up rehab. My theory is that the massive spill on day3 left some damage that strangely was not healed by 16 more 20 mile days.

I can get to LAX in a day, and 1 day, 1 way plane tickets really aren’t that pricey. But I’ve heard the SoCal coast is nice, and I know a few hikers that could use rides, so I might stick around for a few with a rental, giving some karma back.
That’s a great idea and attitude: to stick around and help some of the other hikers and enjoy the sunshine. Rest up. ❤
Oh, Eddy, I’m so sorry this happened. Your attitude is wonderful, and I’m so impressed. Our thoughts are with you. Take care.

I am so sad for you to hear this. I hope you do stick around in a rental for a while, and hope your foot feels better.
I’m so sorry Ed!! I was enjoying following along… staying and providing rides is very sweet of you. Enjoy your stay. Lots of love… ❤
That really bites, I can’t believe you hiked that far on a broken foot! So sorry that happened 🙁
Dont think it was exactly broken the whole time. It’s kind of the thing I would do, though.
