Well this won't let me turn this into a link any longer.


The blogger boys have changed the format recently.


I am sorry. You will have to copy and paste.


I think you will enjoy this site. It is just a preview of coming attractions!

A Desert Trip

On survey and site assessment, in Pinal County a couple of weeks ago I went down!

I was walking along on level ground.

Someone called my name.

I looked up and the next thing I knew I was flat down.

Literally, face down on the desert floor!

Slowly I did a ‘systems’ check.

Everything moved.

Nothing hurt.

I heard a voice yell out, “Is she breathing?”

“I am ok,” I whispered rather dazed.

Now getting up was another thing.

I couldn’t just get up!

I had to slither backwards on my belly until the “you are clear” was said.

I had fallen between two prickly pear cacti and apparently ‘brushed’ them.

I was covered with cacti thorns: arms, shoulders, thighs, belly and my chin!

It took some doing but we got the thorns out – sorta, mosta!

I was on my way again.

Looking down and

Breathing!
