hey all just chatting us'ns retired folk w/too much time on our hands
and missin' the parking lot freeways on the way to work !!!  :o)

Stuck 30" deep in a sand wash in my 87 Syncro
Just East of Death Valley on the way to Parump.
I shouldn't have been racing the washes fer sure !!!  ;o)
We dug for 2 hours with my little folding army shovel to no avail.
Pure quick sand!
And my son needed to be at the LV airport early the next AM!

I've never been so grateful for a truck to winch me out !!!

I had to hustle 3 miles to the main road so he could even find me
and then he informed me that he wasn't even supposed
to go down the wash where my Van was.
But he did... and me with only a fiver to tip him with...

And the ladies that controlled the SOS Called through out the night
to see if we were OK, but we weren't in cell service.
I had to hike out a bit to find a connection.

I love AAA !!! wouldn't own a Vanagon with out it !!!  heh..heh...
&&& It's time to renew !

& I always Need to remember to ask for the Flatbed!

& yes! Bubba can be Very scary !!!
I was towed by him in N Las Vegas
Said he'd just been released
and didn't like the fact that I complained about his
on rollerskate wheeled tow....

:o)

Let's walk into the forest
Only witnessed by the moon
And the breeze that once would chill us
Now excites
And we'll touch the secret places
As the earth beneath us breathes
And the raw exquisite ecstasy
Rushes in
