    I've been away for a few weeks and the weather here has not been very good so I've not been out walking barefoot for a while. This evening I went out on a familiar trail, it was rainy and misty so it was rather slippery but I was OK taking my time. As I was walking up a rather muddy and slippery hill from a river, I saw someone about to walk down, he looked at me and said "that's dangerous" and I replied "yes you have to take care" at which point he lost his footing and slid about 20 feet down the hill ! I was able to get back down to him to help him up, he was OK !
    I thought that little story might cheer people up.

    Maybe I should shy away from hiking barefoot in Colorado next week.

    I think you should try it...and carry some thick socks if you need them.
