Is she crazy?

Yesterday our band of explores was finishing up the day watching the climbers risk their lives on the side of the Dragoon mountains. A 70 year old lady camping up the road had the audacity to pull right in to our camp site and join us for a nice conversation. Kadizzle offered her a beer, but she would not take one until we provided the appropriate micro brew. After some back and forth it became clear she was brave and camping by herself. She explained that she had left her cake husband back in Colorado to stare at the computer because he had no taste for the good outdoor life. The lady seemed to be enjoying her freedom. For a brief moment the conversation focused on Kadizzle. The visitor lady turned to the Commander and asked "Is he any good in bed". Without hesitation the commander gave Kadizzle a fair rating. After the lady left the Commander did a poll among our group to determine if the lady was crazy. Rodger and Kadizzled both thought she was just a strong willed lady with a good attitude. The Commander voted that she was a bit strange. I don't recall Ruth's vote.

Life in the Dragoon mountains has been good and relaxing. The Kadizzlites have found a very nice spot to dry camp. The Commander and Roger spent the entire day watching the climbers with binoculars. Lord Kadizzle did a GPS experimental hike. The goal was a spring, but the brush was too thick when he just about made it. Turning back his Lordship's back seized up and it looked like rescue might be needed. Fortunately the pain devils let loose and the return trip was a success. As this is written The Commander and Roger are watching the last phase of the mountain climbers assent.
