So on day 1 of bike ride revisited we spent the night in the Palo Duro canyon. It was muggy hot. We biked for an hour in the waning dusk sheltered from a tremendous wind along Sunflower trail there on the floor of the canyon. Returning to our rustic rock cabin hidden among the rocks and cacti, I bent down in the near dark to retrieve a trash can lid that had been blown off the trash can.... Lessons learned:
1. Do not get caught out after dark in the Palo Duro canyon when it is warm.
2. Do not feel compelled to pick up a trash can lid that will likely be blown off again before you turn your back.
3. Do not bend over in the dark to retrieve anything.
4. Be in your cabin or tent when it gets dark.
5. Remember to listen to and heed the Holy Spirit's prompting. Before I bent over to pick up the lid, the Holy Spirit said, "Not a good idea, Andi Kaye." But Andi Kaye didn't heed in time.
6. The only good screaming does is to alert one's husband for help. Try to keep it short and sweet because you can use your energy best in another direction...like levitating. We've all seen those cartoons: running in place 3 feet above the ground.
7. Have your camera handy so you can document just how "NOT SMART" (aka "dumb")one can be.
8. Praise the Lord for His Deliverance.
