surecatch's post on another thread got me thinking about ill fated turnarounds...

..sometimes I have a pretty sharp leaning curve so I have several good ones...

My most memorable turnaround happened eight years ago after a buddy and I had set a bicycle in the Morgans area of the Hoh as a turnaround for a float from the park boundary.

Of course the trouble started when we were late getting to the takeout...About three pedals after I hit the blacktop the chain on the bicycle we had set broke leaving me to ride the bike skateboard style for about five miles...

...in the pitch dark...

...through the 'black forest' area of the upper Hoh...
