When Hiking Boots Die




Gwen loved her hiking boots which were 5 years old. She seriously considered investing in a new pair before the Haiti trip; but decided that hers were so much more comfortable than anything else she might buy. Everything began fine. However about 2 hours into the hike, one of the soles of her boots separated from the uppers. Once again it was Susan to the rescue - she had DUCT TAPE in her pack. So Gwen taped up her boot very well and continued on. Unfortunately shortly thereafter the other sole decided it was time to go as well! So the rest of the tape (plus some from the first sole repair) went onto Gwen's other boot. She carefully made her way up the mountain to the Auberge LaVisite.
