[QUOTE="kelsorat, post: 786411, member: 25570"] Well it took till Sunday for my body to recover from Jawbone. This marks the second time I have been in trouble out in the desert. However, the Jawbone disaster was the worst. Heat, dehydration, and complete exhaustion can quickly kill you out in the Mojave if you don't have strong preservation extincts. When Eric and I were walking out of the canyon I kept daydreaming about the scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, when Tuco was pushing Blondie through the scorching desert while he (Tuco) on his horse was taunting a sun blistered Eastwood. And the situation was not helped by seeing a makeshift roadside memorial to some unlucky soul.(maybe a rider hit by a car--I don't know, but it was freaky). Now I know how someone can quickly expire out in the desert. It's amazing how a lack of fluids can make your mind hazy , telling your body to just sit or lay down. And when and if that happens-- your dead. I am not exaggerating, but I really think we would have been toast if that canyon was just 2 more miles deeper into Jawbone. With exception of the guy with his dog, we didn't see another soul out there all day. The scariest parts of the entire adventure were 1) running out of water before we exited the canyon on foot. 2) The distinct possibility of one of us losing consciousness and the perils of leaving that person behind to get emergency help. But I still love Jawbone baaaaby [/QUOTE]
