A couple of weeks ago Garth and I were preparing to go on a trek with our stake and we had forgotten to fill our coolers with ice. We quickly stopped and bought some ice and proceeded to fill the coolers. Well, my block slipped and landed on my toes! I did a little dance off the porch we were on and I'm still feeling the consequences of that accident.
I was lucky to only break the top of my one toe (when it happened it felt like I'd broken all of them). Below is the nasty picture of it four days later, so don't scroll down if you don't want to see it. We still went on the trek and so I know that you can walk 16 miles on a broken toe. I plan on hiking down and out of Havasupi this week and I'm hoping you can do that on a broken toe as well. I'll let you know.

I was reluctantly looking at the picture with Gavin close by and he came to see the picture too. He took one look and said in a concerned voice "Uh-oh.....owe".haha.
DANG that must have hurt!!! Glad you were still able to go on your trek. Hopefully the next one won't be too painful.
Gross! Thanks for the close up.
Oh no!!! I hope you make the Havasupi trip with no problems!

So sorry--that foot looks terrible, makes my stomach turn just to see it! I can't imagine walking the 16 miles of the trek on rough ground let alone into and out of Havasupai Canyon with that poor foot. Good luck! You will be ready for a well-deserved rest when you get back.
You are some kind of SUPERWOMAN to go and do what you did on that toe.Dam that hurt.
