News From the Trailhead

OldBones-Larry
8 5 98

The Bedoin I sent ahead when we left the mountain has returned from the trailhead.

He informed me that there were many travelers on the trail. He did say that there were some that were traveling off-trail, but they seemed to be doing just fine.

He told me he had briefly spoken to two travelers named BostonGirl and SoosannahK‌.

They had just begun her journey across the desert.

He told me that he had made sure their camels were fully supplied for the journey. Also, he reminded rhem to stop and rest at each Oasis and restock from the supplies there as needed.

I want to remind each traveler on the trail of NML of the same thing. Rest at each Oasis and stock up your supplies for the trip. The desert is no place to run out of supplies.

Watch for traps that Nic and his bunch have set on the trails.

Keep a sharp eye out for ambushes by those that want you to fail on this journey.

Be especially careful at Desolation Point. If you fall over the edge, Relapse Rocks are at the bottom. They are sharp and do very serious damage. I have rescued many from there.

Travel at your own pace. Your safety is all that matters on this journey. I want you to complete the crossing unhurt.

TheOldGoat-Joan is surely watching out for all on the trail. If you listen closely, I am sure you can here her message to you. "Keep them away from your face. You can't smoke them that way."

Travel safely and be well my fellow travelers. I will see you somewhere on the trail.

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. TheOldGoat-Joan, I miss you terribly my friend. Elder Lists Guilia's: (/blogs/Giulia-blog/2017/06/18/elders-list-ao-december-7-2016 ) or Smorgy's (Chronological Elder List)
