It is five in the morning and today we go to Globe to get the test for Covid. Not sure why, Winky was feeling a little bad the other day. In Globe we will shop and lay in supplies.
Yesterday Kadizzle did some exploration up on the mountain. With a dose of stupidity Kadizzle took off on a new jeep trail. It was a little nasty and Kadizzle had a mini spill. No harm done, but a good lesson in going out alone. Kadizzle took a reading with the Inreach and sent it back. For safety we have a satellite communicator. It will send out an emergency SOS with the exact GPS position. Also in an emergency it can send messages. The device will send a location to your computer with a background map that shows exactly where you are. It even will show a minute by minute trail of where you are going. We don't use it as often as we should, but someday it might save us. One must be careful not to set it off accidently. It has an emergency button that if you push that button it will send and SOS to 911. Kadizzle asked the local sheriff if they have received many calls on this system. They have had a few. Back in the wilderness often you have no cell service.
