Desolation Point

OldBones-Larry
6 8 112

As I approached Desolation Point this afternoon, I saw evidence of a struggle. I got down and looked closely and determined that someone had been attacked.
I followed the tracked and found that they led to the edge of the dropoff.
As I looked down I saw @princessdeborahd on the rocks below.
I worked my way down and helped her back up to the top. As I dressed her wounds, she told me that Ol' Nicodemon and his crew had jumped her and threw her over the edge. When she came to, they had fled the scene. I guess they thought they had taken her out for good.
I sent her back to the trailhead with one of my Bedoin companions where she could get medical attention. She will recover just fine and be ready for the trail again in about 30 days.
I sent word to the Sheik about what had happened. I asked him to send out parties to see if they could find the culprits and punish them.
I am returning to the mountain caves for supplies and meditation. I will enter the Cave of Meditation and ask knowledge from Those Who Have Gone Before.
Be well travelers and be safe on the trail. Be watchful of Nic and his crew and any traps he might have set.
Remember friends ......
One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

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.
