It was ten years ago today that the Mayor was rescued after falling and breaking his leg and ankle while backpacking in Olympic National Park. Over time, the Mayor realized that photos were scattered in various places, so here are some photos that weren't previously posted.

In Matthew 12:11, Jesus said, "Is there a person here who, finding one of your lambs fallen into a ravine, wouldn't, even though it was a Sabbath, pull it out?" It was a Wednesday, not a Sabbath, but the Mayor was one of those lambs.
