Too much fun

Image
So the weekend after I got back from Hawaii, I went to Moab to help teach the Wilderness Medicine Course there. It was my first time teaching for Wilderness Med and I had a great time. We basically ran through various scenarios with the students to see how they would assess different situations. My scenario was fairly easy: man went on hike and had too much water so was hyponatremic (low sodium). Alex and my friend Ash (a fellow instructor) came with me. We stayed in a hotel Friday night and went to Canyonlands Saturday afternoon for camping/hiking. I forgot to refill my tank so my car was low on gas by the time we reached Canyonlands but lucky me...we found a gas station near needles outlook and the lady there told us about a nice camping spot since the ones in the park were full. It was exciting because we had to go off the road, through a fence (the lady told us where the fence can be lifted up) and drive on a dirt road to get to the campsite.....my poor car barely made it.
