Johnny is the walking blueprint for the National Forest Service here. Johnny 88 years old was here when everything was built, so when you need to know where something is you ask Johnny. Johnny cannot sit still. As we sit in the Earth Module Johnny is constantly driving about with his little white dog Bessie hanging out the window.
Poncho, Johnny's son in law drove up to the Earth Module yesterday and asked to borrow something to pull Johnny out of a hole with. Kadizzle made some inquiries and volunteered to help Poncho retrieve Johnny. Johnny went fishing down by the diversion dam. That is the area where the Salt River empties into Lake Roosevelt. The flatlands down there are a maize of trees and roads. Now where in the hell was Johnny down in that hopeless tangle of roads. Several times Kadizzle tried to phone Johnny, but no answer. In the mean time we drove all over hell's half acre trying to find the stuck little SUV. No luck. At last Johnny answered the phone. It was getting to the point we might have to call in the forces. Johnny said he had walked out and caught a ride. We were able to locate Johnny and Bessie. Finally we found his vehicle sunk in the sand by the river. The Johnny mobile was pulled out and Johnny took off to visit a friend like nothing even happened. Johnny needs oxygen, and Kadizzle thought we might find him in bad shape, but no problem. Poncho and Johnny's daughter stay with him in his RV near us. Kadizzle suggested they put a lease on Johnny. It would be great to have Johnny's pep at age 88.
