Up The Mountainside.

134 days into the journey.

I mounted up on a Yak 4 days ago and started up the mountain. The way was clear and I made good time for the first 2 days. I pushed on the third day and made it to the outcrop I had been steering towards.

I was met by the Gnu and Dale and invited into the Carp Cave. We dined on a delicious BBQ. They served a drink that was very tasty. It was also very strong!!!! The memories of this time will far outweigh any headache I am suffering.

This morning I continued upwards. I think I can see the wise old goat ahead. What wisdom will be given me. Will the goat be willing to supply me with the Moses Dust I was told about so I may continue leading the caravans?

The goats that are leading me are steering me towards what looks like a corral up ahead. From where it sits, it looks like I will have to continue on foot. I will meet the wise goat tomorrow sometime.

I have been watching as more of the caravan arrives each day. I asked the people at camp to welcome them with open arms. They assured me that each traveler would be welcomed with a feast. I would love to welcome them personally, but the wisdom the goat will provide is so important that I can't miss the chance I have been given to receive it.

I will close this journal entry so I may reach camp to rest for tomorrow.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Hugs and love to all.

Larry the Caravan Master

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
