Alone and Broken in the Desert
This podcast by Outside magazine tells the story of Claire Nelson, who was more than a mile off a trail in Joshua Tree National Park in California in the United States when she fell 30 feet. She found herself lying on the ground with a broken pelvis, no mobile phone service, and no one knew where she was. As three days alone and broken in the desert turned into four, she contemplated her life choices and asked herself what it means to be truly alone.
