Almost There

I have been traveling night and day to get back to the mountain. Repairs to the trail have gone very well. There has been no major damage that needed taken care of.
The oasis that had been ransacked has been put to rights and restocked.
I have passed many travelers on my journey. I left supplies with many of them as they slept. I stopped and spoke with several to see how their travels were going.
I have sent a messenger ahead to tell Dale at Carps Cave that I should arrive sometime tomorrow. I requested that some Mongolian Beef be ready for me. I also inquired if there were any Scorpion Skewers left. Those are mighty tasty.
After my meal, I will retire to The Old Goat's resting place to meditate. This will help me recharge for another journey. I will then restock with food and supplies and begin another trip. I think I will carry a larger supply of Moses Dust from now on. There seem to be more, and larger, sandstorms lately.
Travel safely, and always remember .....
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.
