Geocache Description:

On the popular Bountiful/Mueller Park Trail.

On 07 March 2009, while I was still just 72 years old, I started a hike up the Mueller Trail with the Davis County Hiking "Meetup" Group. There was about three inches of snow covering the trail. A short distance up, I made a careless misstep, fell, and broke my right femur resulting in replacement of the right hip ball. A former Metro Fire Agency Battalion Chief told me that is refered to as a "D.F.O." (ie: DONE FELL OVER ). I placed this cache, nearby where I fell, to test my recovery after four months of rehab and exercise. Be careful. On my November birthday I was still too weak to do an extensive hike and place my annual B.D. (2009) cache hide.
