My guess would be between 10:00 & 10:30 and that's the Safeway where I intend to leave the Hoolimobile Cool

Discovered that Duct tape does a fair job of removing the small prickly pear spines from my leg that were too small to get with tweezers; does and excellent job of removing hair Crying or Very sad

When my neighbors complain tomorrow that Strider was howling at 10:00 last night........should I tell them it wasn't Strider Question

OK, Here's my version.....obviously the true one Exclamation

I've fallen twice while hiking in the Land of AZ......March of last year hiking Secret Canyon, looking at the scenery,(which is awesome!), rather than the trail, I didn't see the tree root that jumped out and tripped me Mad

So this year, I'm watching the trail, right Question

Tree limb low bridged me Evil or Very Mad

Fall on my.......well, you know what I fell on....and also a prickly pear Eek

With small prickly pear spines in my hand and leg I, of course, expected Jaime to come to my rescue Idea

But she was too busy with her "Pink Taco" to bother....and let's face it....any hiking story these days that doesn't include "Jaime" "Purple" and "Lace" is hardly worth reading Wink

So there you have it. Kristyn was kind enough to pick most of the spines out of my leg while simply Jaime stood by and leered Shocked

Sounds about right to me. BY the way Hoolie, you looked liked you were enjoying yourself while Kristyn played nurse. Very Happy

Truth be known... Hooli approached me w/ a proposition. He would show me his, if I showed him mine. It was only fair that I "leered" while he lifted his shorts!! And since I am a woman of my word, I flashed him my "pink taco". A deal's a deal.

If you check out the pics, Kristyn got the better end of the bargain... she didnt have to show Hooli anything for her close-up!! Personally, I think the cactus spines were just an excuse to get her to touch his leg!!
