Does it cost to Ride the Caravan Through NML?

I was asked that the other day at the trailhead. Someone had been there for several days and wasn't sure theyy wanted a camel and supplies.
I had to answer truthfully and told them there is a cost.
The backpack of supplies, the pack of supplies on the camel, even the camel rental itself have a cost. All the supplies at the Oasis have a cost. The guides along the trail that will point you in the proper direction have a cost.
What is that cost?
Just pay it foreward and help others. We all need help on this journey, therefore we all pay it foreward and help everyone.
Travel smart and safely my friends.
The journey is long, so remember that the journey of 1,000 miles begins with just one step.
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.
