Well we were anticipating that one of us would be getting ill on this trip,but weren't expecting it to happen so early, nor in the States!
Anyway, late in the evening while we were camping at Mount Rainier, Dan wanted to get some attention. So he decided to go pick up for the evening and took some bug to bed. As a result he had a pretty rough night being sick.
The next morning we pack up the camp (well I did, somehow) and off we went to try and find a pharmacy and a motel. We spoke to a ranger and the nearest pharmacy was about 45 minutes away. So our search began.
Whilst driving we noticed a sign for a hospital and decide to head in that direction. Not long afterwards we arrive at Morton General Hospital where the wait time at emergency was only a few minutes - we were very impressed!
Dan was seen to by the lovely Dr McCurry, who was fantastic, and was happy to have a chat, and was helped by a couple of nurses to get quite a bit of IV fluids in him and was on his way to getting better. After a few hours he was good to go. We bunkered down in Morton that night and all was well.
