    Jeremy (Carolinabackpacker) had a bad fall in the Gorge.

    I don't know much other than Brother Bones was hiking is the Linville Gorge with some fellow HF members and took a 200 foot tumble down the hill. Wound up in the hospital and has a bad knee injury and is really scratched up.

    Bummer. Hope Brother Bones has a speedy recovery.
    Straight out of Clayton.

    Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.

    I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.

    Thought it was Carolinabackpacker. Unless this was a separate fall. Info on linvillegorge.net.

    As bad as that is, a 200 ft fall in most places at Linville would kill you. Hope he has a fast recovery
