Accident...

I'm typing this with one hand. Fairly soon my parents will be here to take me to the orthopedic surgeon. It seems that when you fly without an airplane you are doomed to crash land, especially when are thrown off the back of an ATV. Fortunately, all I broke was one wrist....badly. I've quite a few bruises too and my neck was slightly sprained. I landed about a third of the way down a ravine while my friend the driver landed at the bottom after rolling several times with the ATV. He broke his hand and has some cuts and scrapes. We are very lucky our injuries weren't worse. We had to walk out of this mountainous desert area at least a third of a mile before we got a ride to the medics station. We were at the Terlingua International Chili Cookoff. The ambulance ride took over 1 1/2 hours to the nearest hospital in Alpine where we were seen by a nurse practioner.

More on the cookoff later....and pictures!
