Huckleberries: One of these Tubbs Hill falls will cause ‘the big one’

Huckleberries Tuesday:

Shelly Robins Zollman, director of North Idaho Family Magazine, has this thing about rolling her ankle on Tubbs Hill. The Coeur d’Alene woman estimates that she has done it about 10 times, the latest incident occurring Friday morning. Funny thing? As she tripped on dirt and fell Friday, Shelly was looking at a dangerous shard of rock a few feet farther up the path, thinking “Oh, better be careful of that.” A person can think about strange things when a rolled ankle flashes before her eyes. Kelly said she visualizes herself as Redd Foxx, who faked heart attacks to get his way on the old TV series, “Sanford and Son.” Foxx would yell something like, “This is the big one! This is the worst one I’ve ever had.” In her re-play of the scene, Tubbs Hill style, Shelly adds: “This is the one that’s going to leave me on this hill.” Full column here.

Question: How many times have you hiked Tubbs Hill this summer?
