Arroyo Seco from Escondido Camp 2024

Everyone tells me to stop going into the wilderness alone and I understand their concerns...but I have a warrior spirit that runs free in the wilderness and at 71 years of age, I fear its loss.
Unfortunately, in this solo trip I slipped in the river, fell on a rock and broke some ribs fueling the cry to curtail my warrior wilderness spirit
This is a part of that trip, sadly most of my 10 hour hike back to the car, which included flashlit hiking in the river at 9pm with broken ribs did not include video documentation. My warrior spirit was focused on a safe exit
