[pct-l] Antibiotics

[Jeffrey Olson]

After badly spraining my ankle on the CDT, 6 miles from the nearest 
4wheel drive access, I'm a convert to carrying painkillers more powerful 
than vitamin I or naprosin.  I was able to walk 6 miles on the ankle 
with a tree branch as cane after a couple hours of soaking it in a 
spring and letting the pain meds - vicodin - take effect.  It ruined the 
trip of course, but I can still hike!!!
