My hangover took a bit of recovery today, I worked, then Daryl, Elisha and Judy helped me clean the carnage in my cabin, then I laid on the loungers on the beach and snoozed off my hangover in the sunshine.
I was due to retire to my cabin for a mellow fire and a snooze after dinner, when Jeremy asked me to go rescue a couple who had got lost mountain biking. So I took the pickup and an ATV and some warm clothes and water for them.
I ended up hiking up the Pearsons trail in the dark on my own for an hour til Ifound them. Anbd boy were they happy to see me! They'd bitten off more than they could chew. As beginner mountain bikers but fit road bikers they had gone up Taylors to do Camels Pass but missed the singletrack turn so ended up on the High trail which they were not skilled enough to ride so had to walk a lot. Eventually they saw smoke from Eldorado cabin and went there. Luckily it was occupied and the guide there called me on the Sat phone to request I meet them on the Pearsons/high trail junction.
I got them back by 9:30pm after they'd been out there 9hrs and it was dark and cold. Jeremy got me very drunk free as a reward. But having just done a big hike and being rather sweaty and dehydrated it really took its toll within 2hrs of shots of jaegermeister bombs and beers and Black seal rum (140% proof)- I was more drunk than I have been for a very long time. So much so I could not make it to my cabin and I just went upstairs and collapsed in staff accomodation spare bed!
Honestly I used to be such a sober character- what has happened to me!?
