Take precautions when hiking

Dear Editor,

My neighbor loves to hike in the desert, wears only boots, shorts, and a hat. Yes, he’s a man. Friday morning he knocked on my door. He was covered in cactus, his back was loaded with jumping cholla cactus, not to mention 100 thorns.

Being handicapped, my caregiver who is loaded in medical degrees, jumped into action, got needle-nose pliers and tweezers, and started pulling out the large cactus. I helped with the small thorns.

My story to you, if going hiking, carry a staff, a large stick as tall as you, watch for rocks that might flip you. Also now is the time for rattlers.

Enjoy the outdoors, hike and have fun. Memories will always be with you. I thank you for taking time out to read this. Keep happy, and God bless you.
