If you die in a canyon because you didn’t check the water levels yourself, you can sue the park service. You can do the same if you ignore warning signs at Emerald Pools and slip off a cliff because every cliff isn’t chained off. Now you can file charges if you perish in a blizzard on Mt. Everest.
Of course, every situation is always someone elses fault. Unfortunately, I forgot to sue when I got stuck in that crack in Fiery Furnace/Fin Land. I should have gone after the park service, dang it.

Almost scared to ask. What did you do? Slice them up for bandages?

Ugh. This sounds too truthful to be funny

What is that old expression? “Watch out, you may get wha you asked for!”

Ahhh, painkiller. But, but, but, Bud Light? Now that’s embarrassing! R

I’ve consulted my millionaire brother who is a high faluting lawyer type and he says that we are going to sue the BLM and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument for the damage to my ankle and my brain that occured because they did not take that rock out of Egypt 3, knowing full well that I was going to hike that canyon sometime in the timeframe 2005 to 2015. Here is what I’m asking in my lawsuit: 1. $1.50 for one ruined pair of shorts. 2. $0.67 for 2 3/4 feet of duct tape. 3. Mileage from Bryce Canyon, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada for two follow-up xrays. 2 X 500 miles @ the IRS Mileage Rate of $0.45 = $450.00. 4. $7.5 million for mental hurt and pain that I suffer on a daily basis; it has nothing to do with my job. 5. $15 million for not being able to attend TurkeyFest and Freezefest! 6. $1.50 for the 24 oz bud light that I had to consume to ease the embarrassment of telling the nurse what I was doing. All she could say was “You weren’t hiking alone were you?”
LOL

I don’t know. Ram has been working so much, he may not qualify for the best.
Friends don’t sue friends. You know, there’s no time like the present to notify your friends and family that you would never want your adventuring buddies sued if you had an accident. Put it in your will, too. I’ve heard it’s already on that waiver form you have to sign now if you want to go on a trip with Ram . . .
Your friendly neighborhood PD

We aren’t replacing you. We need a whole army of legal help. And maybe a whole team of psychiatrists too. Claim insanity, which isn’t much of a reach, considering what we call fun. R

Ready, willing, and able, Ram. Will work for an occasional invite to a canyon and Imlay gear. Tom, you better get me on retainer, too. Oh wait, I still owe Tom a couple of bucks for a map. Dang 😉

“I forgot to sue when I got stuck in that crack in Fiery Furnace/Fin Land”
Yeah I chickened out of trying that… at 6’3″ and WAS 225lbs, that didn’t look like the way to go… especially since the 190 lb guys were complaining about it.
