But I also enjoy company sometimes. Risky? Probably. Had two water related tragedies here this past week. A fella was diving from a 150' cliff into 90 feet of water (intentionally for fun). They are still looking for the body. In another accident a 17 yr old girl was in her sleeping bag behind her tent pitched in the sage brush near a remote boat launch. Her 21 year old male friend in a pick-up ran over her. Still alive with shattered pelvis. Getting out of bed is risky -- or staying in it. But thanks to good trip reports and ideas from ya'all, I can reduce the risk in some ways while taking more in areas I want to -- like finding solitude. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jul 08 1998 - 21:05:21 PDT
