Uncle Richard Webb meets his waterloo! Saturday he and Aunt Liesl were hiking and he jumped off a waterfall and hit a rock under the water. He knew he had broken his ankle. A canyoneering team, an EMT from Tonto Basin, and DPS helicopter rescued him. Before they floated him out a LDS scout troop with Priesthood leadership gave him a blessing that he would rest at home that night. Even though they were still in the canyon and it was almost dark. Everyone thought they would be there all night, but the Lord knows everything. He was lifted out with just 3 minutes left before the DPS helicopter had to leave due to darkness. He broke his ankle in two places and had a gash on his shin that went to the bone. Even with all those injuries he was home that early morning (by 1:30am) just as the blessing said he would be.
Sunday night we went to visit the walking dead bringing our healing Rice Krispy treats and were excited to see the video coverage Aunt Liesl got of the heroic efforts of strangers on his behalf. We love Uncle Richard and are so glad he is okay! He is already bummed about missing his Tonto Creek hike next month, bum deal!
