Care to take guess?

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

I'll double down on this guess.

one guess: Behind the knees in the bend spot in the knee joint.

another more creative guess: he was eating snow and he froze his soft palate to the point of 2nd degree burns and bleeding in his mouth.

In attempting to solve a riddle, which this kinda is, I guess we should instead start with basic questions. Most of us are assuming this is a sunburn, but that was never stated. So, mavrick, were the burns caused from sun exposure? Are we aloud to ask a question like that?

Depending on the time of year, this person might have been hot, hiking in the snow and as some skiers are prone to do, that their shirt off to catch a few rays and to cool down. Also, at altitude, people don't realize the ozone thins out quite fast and if you aren't careful can get a bad burn in less than half and hour and worse if care is not taken. When I worked at Lake Tahoe in the 70's, sun bathers were getting burned all the time. I'm saying their chest was badly burned and they were in intense pain. There, a qualified answer, but still a guess.:)
Piece of cake.
