Riding Along

OldBones-Larry
7 5 61

It has been an uneventful trip so far. 

We have restocked several supply caches at the oasis. I found out that the amount of supplies I wanted to leave was more than the caches would hold, so we had to build more of them to hold it all.

I also made sure that there was plenty of cured grasses for the camels left at each one also. Well fed camels are less trouble and stronger for the journey.

So far, I have seen no evidence of Nic and his buddies. This only makes me keep a sharper lookout for them.

The travelers I have met tell me that they have run into some traps that were more harassment than harm. I am looking for these so they can be disarmed and destroyed.

The Bedoins have been rotating their camels with ones from the herd being taken over to the trailhead. They are young and need to be ridden to accustom them to carrying people and supplies. They should be ready by the time we reach the trailhead.

It warm this old caravan master's heart to see so many people traveling the trail. I try to encourage each one I meet.

I must continue my journey to restock the supplies now. 

Remember to keep a sharp eye for Nic and his crew.

Travel safely and beware traps and pitfalls.

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.
