Watching the Trail

OldBones-Larry
7 10 81

I looked out from the mouth of the Cave of Reflection this morning out across the desert of NML. I saw so many travelers on the trail and was so glad that they were out there. Many just beginning the journey, others nearing the end.

I would remind them to stay on the trail and not wander off course. Nic and his crew are just waiting for you to wander off the path so they can ambush you and bring you back into their club of addicts.

Rest at every oasis and refill your supplies. Regain strength for your journey that you may finish the crossing strong. Be very careful at Desolation Point in the Relapse Rocks. Many have fallen there and had to restart their journey after going back to heal.

I am sending word to the Sheik asking that he and his men watch over the trail. 

I must now enter the Healing Cave to try and heal from the attacks my body has been enduring.

Travel safely and keep a sharp eye for traps.

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

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.
