No deaths. A sucessful trip. And she didn't have to hack off her arm.

When Grover began the hike back in the morning, she landed wrong when jumping off a four-foot ledge and broke her leg above the ankle.

Just ignore them.

The Cub/Boy Scout motto of "always being prepared" is a central part of my life. And I'm sure most of us on NES. "I'd rather have it an not need it then need it and not have it."
