   Everybody warned the rookies about the gorge, also known as "The Gut" and "The Chute". 
   It is a 20-mile downhill run through a river gorge studded with boulders and you run on an ice ledge steeply down, weaving in and out of the boulders for the whole distance. The other mushers tell the rookies that it is easy to get in trouble in the gorge.
    And it is.
    In a moment of sheer stupidity, worried that I will lose my team, I tie my left arm to the sled. Seconds later I am knocked off the sled and as the dogs careen down through the gorge they loop out and around a boulder but the sled does not make it cleanly and hits the boulder and I am knocked off the runners and I cannot get up. I bounce, bang off boulders, swing back and forth like a piece of meat. I seem to do most of the gorge run on my back, whamming boulders with the top of my head. 
Through a miracle or two my stupidity in tying myself to the sled does not kill me. A musher stopped at the end of the gorge fixing his broken sled grabs my team and pulls the to a slop as they pile into a small side ravine or I think it would have been worse. 
    Tattered, bleeding, rage, and stunned I come out the end of the gorge to crash in the next checkpoint and spend the day recovering.
     It is the end of day four.]]> 2019-04-03 16:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/348169635 s29451937 https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349776557 2019-04-09 02:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349776557 s29451937 https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349776933 Alarmed, fear, unnerved]]> 2019-04-09 02:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349776933 s29451937 https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349777055 A steep, menacing gorge with sharp and big rocks lining the walls.]]> 2019-04-09 02:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349777055 s29451937 https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349779633 Worried, trouble, "does not make it", tattered and bleeding.]]> 2019-04-09 03:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349779633 s29451937 https://padlet.com/s29451937/2spvrtr2xlr8/wish/349780543 Many parts of this song are filled with loud noises, long buildups and sudden violin shrieks, implying that something bad is about to happen.
